Title: Philipsburgh Avenue, Fairview
Post by: ladybird on Thursday 07 May 09 07:55 BST (UK)

Hi folks
Does anyone know if Philipsburgh Ave is still the same as it was in 1910?
I'm particularly interested in no. 137, have just discovered my g/grandfather died there.
Now why couldn't he have hung on till the 1911 census  :(

There's a current photo of a house for sale on Philipsburgh Avenue
at this link : http://www.rootschat.com/links/0690/

not far from number 137 and probably similar in design

Thanks Taid and Shane
It looks as if the houses would have been quite new in 1910

the strange thing is that the 1911 census only shows seven houses on Philipsburgh Avenue..

see : http://www.rootschat.com/links/0691/

edit : I've just spotted that the road is spit across two districts

That's odd, it's a long road

my mistake - that was just part of the road, the rest is in a different DED (Clontarf West)

Hi
My grandmother was born in 110 Philipsburgh Ave, I was on this lastweek and it would have looked the exact same... no new developments on this street. All houses look like really old houses.

Cheers

Thanks Quaxor sorry I didn't have time to answer you last night.
My g/father (No. 137)had died by 1911 and my g/mother had moved back to Scotland


Ambyren1- I'm glad of that...so much new development these days, all the history being lost  ;D

My ancestors were John and Anna Eliza ENGLISH, and lived in ?Union Lodge, Philipsburgh Ave from around 1830 - 1879.
Anna.E ENGLISH is listed in Griffiths Valuation as owning various tenements including ?2a, 63,64, 65, 67, 77, 78, 79 and 99 Philipsburgh Ave, Ballybough.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Do you know of any publication on the history of the area from the 1830's. John English might have been Wm John English. He was a 'surgeon dentist', although possibly in the army.

Any photos of any of the addresses would be intersting.

Thanks

Julie
