Hi
Sorry about previous message as this is first time I have done this.
Can anyone help with address and Occupation, glad of any help.
Thanks Manordeg
Hope this is better only want to know address and Occupation.
Thanks

sorry - full certs are not permitted on Rootschat, so I've had to edit your post to show just extracts. I've also enlarged the sections slighty...
The image resolution is very low (seems to be 200dpi), which makes it difficult to read the details. Is there any chance you could attach sections of the cert scanned at a higher resolution ? (just the parts with the address ) done - thanks

The place of death looks to me like
Workhouse
Dublin Union

Cork St Hospital?? .. wasn't the South Dublin Union on Cork St?

I think eadaoin's suggestion of Cork St Hospital as the address of the informant fits very well - that fits what I see and there is a hospital on Cork St in Thom's 1938 between 38 and 39
Cork Street Fever Hospital and house of recovery
Resident Med. Officer C.J. McSweeney M.D. F.R.C.P.I
The question then is, what is the word above Dublin Union in the place of death ?
South Dublin Union was based in James' Street, but I think there could possibly have been other facilities 'off-site' by this time..

Hi Shane
I have late of ?????? St Lucan Dublin Union and not sure if Occupation is Messenger.
Thanks for your help
-
place of death looks a bit like Workhouse (or Washouse!)
the second word of Occupation is "child" I think .. first word begins E? (look at Eighth)
MA*er St Lucan ??? (we need a Lucan native here)
edit: looking at the Lucan bit of the Dublin Street Atlas
Main Street is the only likely one

I think the occupation is some like
.e.g..n/m..rs
Child
My reading of the two addresses is that
Workhouse[?]
Dublin Union
relates to the place of death and the wording under the name reads something like
late of
M..
Lucan

updated : removed the images I added - missed that higher resolution details had been already posted

It's a very strange E... but if it is, then how about Engineers Child ?
although would an engineers child end up in a workhouse ?

I'd go along with "Engineers Child"
it IS a funny "E", but if you ignore the initial upstroke, it's rather like those curly capital E's we had to do in headline copies in the 1950s!
look at some of these Edward VII postboxes, to see what I mean

Might the word over workhouse be 'march', as in the death was on eighth march?
Also, while the second word of the occupation looks like child to me, the original poster probably knows the age this person was when he died, and if he wasn't a child, is 'guild' a possible alternative word here?

In 1912, there is a 'The Mall' Lucan, which is another possibility.
