A circa 1772 baptism for a James BIRON

[Keith Sherwood]

Dathai,
Gosh, details of the size of the house James BIRON lived in in 1847 in the Parish of St Peter in Harold's Cross.  Must have another look at that map link that Sinaan provided earlier on this thread.  Though I don't quite understand why James BIRON'S name appears 5 times in that list you yourself have provided, with only the middle one opening to reveal his name against that property.  Was he perhaps the landlord of the other ones?  Sorry to appear so dimwitted!
But thanks so much for providing the opportunity to glimpse an original document with the BIRON family name on it from 172 years ago.

[dathai]

from Googling his name his address appears to be 3 longford Row ,Harold's Cross

Dathai,
I don't know how you managed to do that (I tried!), but many thanks.  A great help to know that...

...and now when I Google that address it comes up with the 1847 Dublin Directory and it gives another address against James's name, 7, Ellis's Quay.  Might that be some kind of business address, i.e  some kind of a warehouse?

1901 if numbering is still the same 7 Ellis Quay appears to be a 8 roomed dwelling house

Well,  Sinaan,
I realise that could be classed as an act of charity, but how much exactly in today's terms would an 1847 pound then  be worth?
But fascinating nonetheless as yet another unearthed footprint from the past for this particular individual.  Many thanks for that again...

Sorry no idea about the money but I think there are sites that do comparisons.

Meanwhile, number 77 and 78 James Biron to Ellen O'Brien. I don't pretend to understand these, but I think she is buying his land in Harold's Cross
