Thoms 1923 shows Alfred Corlett (Boot & Clothes Dealer) at No.34 Cole's Lane while Thoms 1952 show Mrs A.Corlett (Furniture Dealer) at No.14.
Do you wish for other Thoms to be checked?
Regards Quaxer

Hi Quaxer,
That would be fantastic if you could. That would be Alice and i think she had another sister who had a shop. Alfred would be the father. Somehow one of these shops or property on coles lane ended up with my granny sweeney (her fathers sister married a corlett). She used to collect rent i'm told from one of these shops in coles lane but i dont know how to find out which one. I think Alice or her sister left it to her when they died. It must have been bought eventually by the council. An aunt of mine has told me she has the DOD of Alice so i'll try and track down a will if i can.

Hi,
It's my great grandfathers sister that i was told married a corlett. She would have been O'brien, which is my grandmothers maiden name. Does that name mean anything to you?
-
Just one other thing, Alice (that i believe is my great grandfathers sister), married to Alfred also had children called Alice and Alfred. Thought i'd mention in case you are looking at a different generation.
-
hi again yes we are talking about the right generation , alfred corlett /alice o brien were my my grandparents i am trying to find an address for the o brien family i know that they were married in st michaels and johns church essex quay dublin they are both buried in glasnevin cemetary does the name (mary orford ) mean anything to you ,this name is on the grave headstone as a sister of alice.regards mc
-
hi again, sorry i should have said c matthews was a daughter of alfred/alice they had 7 children alice/arthur/thomas/alfred/lily/christina/james/there were also 2 children that died .

Hi,
Below is the link to my o'brien family in 1901 census (ignore ages as they are incorrect).
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/North_City/Jervis_Street/1332874/
My great grandfather john shows as married in 1901, however he didnt marry my grt grandmother until 1910. Perhaps your Alice is from his 1st marriage , or she's one of his sisters so that i need to find out. I will private message you more details i have and maybe we can find the family connection. I'm also doing the family tree.
I'll also ask the family if they know of the names orfords or matthews. They had mentioned sisters Christina and Alice who was close to my grandmother and they thought they were maybe cousins. My grandmother Elizabeth (Lily),sadly is no longer around to ask.
-
hi again , the marriage cert for alfred corlett and alice o brien names a thomas obrien as her father so i believe she would have been a sister to john. on the 1st of july 1889 and the home adress as no 2 essex gate in the census its listed as essex st east. for thomas
-
Hi,
Yes that looks like Alice is sister of John. I have baptism cert for John (1856) that my grandmother kept, from St Audoen's church, so i'm sure you'll find Alice's there.
I had attached link to census of Thomas from 1901 and he was living at that time in Jervis street with his sons. He died 2nd January 1902 and that address is on his grave at Glasnevin. He's buried with wife Catherine, who died 12 Dec 1882. Also buried with son Thomas (Alice brother), d 1941.
Catherine is originally from Bagenalstown Carlow and Thomas from Clonmel Tipperary. Thomas moved to Dublin during the famine.
So far i know Catherine and Thomas had sons, John, Thomas, Michael, daughter Catherine and now Alice. You have mentioned Mary as well.
