Rathkeale street addresses
« on: Monday 26 February 18 21:46 GMT (UK) »
Rather than tack this onto my other lengthy thread and have it so far down the well, it might be missed, here goes;,
I am trying to pinpoint a Rathkeale building address, 100 Main Street, that would have existed in 1880.

Google streets shows no address numbers and the town of Limerick has not gotten back to me.

Some of you have produced old survey maps and I'm hoping there might be data somewhere that I can attach to a current building.

As an aside, I am aware of the demographic of Rathkeale and that is irrelevant.

Thanks for your assistance.

They don't have numbers in 1911 so where did the 100 come from?
We weren't keen on house numbers Ireland.

Granny's birth notice.
Good to see you, I wondered who would be first out of the gate.
 ;D

Sorry, Sinnon, it was the 1901 census and the old date should have been 1880. Slow brain day in Canada.

The number isn't on the birth cert is it?
We discussed this before
She has a lovely kind face.

Be wary of the numbers on the census, they are census form numbers, while in citys like Dublin the house and form numbers usually match this isn't the often the case in rural towns or the countryside.
I don't think the 100 in Rathkeale is a house number, it's easier to see on the 1911 Census but your family isn't there by 1911 so I'll just show you an example from Main Street
.
Here you can see the form is  number 105 but the building address is just Main St.

And number 100

You can compare the house and building returns for both census to see if the number match from one to the other but you will also notice there was a lot of Public Houses on that street.
1911 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Rathkeale_Urban/Main_Street__Contd__/
1901 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Rathkeale_Urban/Main_Street/


I'm looking at old photographs of Main Street and I can't see any numbers on the buildings.
This one for example

The Bank is number 88 in 1901 and 124 in 1911, it's the same bank manager in both census so likely the same building.

if we can figure out the name of the bank, it might be possible to discover what building it was in.

This is what I was going by and I guess it is what you were cautioning me against.
I took a break from all this and am now finding it all slow to come back. So much to absorb and I failed to start indexing in the beginning.

It was the 100th house emumerated on Census, not a door number!

The Bank is enumerated 88th  in 1901 and 124th  in 1911... it only only to keep a count of how many Forms there were.
