place name near Bantry - Sadleir's Cross
« on: Friday 10 January 25 22:50 GMT (UK) »
From a probate record in 1980, does anyone know where Sadleir's Cross is?

Thank-you

I can't help with  where it is, but there is a death notice in 1979 for John Victor Peter ALCOCK of Sadleir's Cross, Bantry - possibly the same death?
   Thursday,  Aug. 30, 1979
Publication: The Daily Telegraph

and a death announcement for Ennis CHAMBERS of Sadleir's Cross, Bantry in 1961.
   Saturday,  Sept. 30, 1961
Publication: The Daily Telegraph

Another announcement for the death of Alison ALCOCK has "Saddliers Cross"
Friday,  Sept. 17, 1999
Publication: The Daily Telegraph

Thank-you for the help and postcode finder.  I had looked on old maps around Bantry and not found anything.  So the postcode/eircode goes to the cross-roads, and it is very useful to see that the address is recognised under a slightly different spelling, but using that and old maps there is nothing labelled as such on a map?

Yes, death of John V P Alcock.  He, his father, and his grandfather were born, brought up, and lived in Wiltshire mostly, and abroad because of the army, but a car he once owned was found in Ireland so I was not surprised to found him out there.

The code and map takes me to the smart lodge bungalow.  Is it that specific because an English/Welsh/Scottish code goes to the centre of an area and, as such, would probably include the bigger houses behind and possibly the run-down chalet type building on the opposite corner?

Post codes were only introduced to Ireland quite recently so they were able to give each building its own code.

Looking in the newspapers and at maps I think the general area around the cross roads was known as Sadlier’s Cross and that at least the two lodge houses used it as their address, the house using it today is probably keeping an old local name alive and isn’t necessarily the house referred to in the probate.

Thank-you very much for that.  Each building its own code.  Goodness.  Heading towards what3words.

The man in question lived in some large houses as a child but was running a village store when he married in 1964 and so he could have lived anywhere if he inherited after his parents died.
