Title: Sackville Place and Sackville Street
Post by: Dublin2011 on Wednesday 30 November 11 15:05 GMT (UK)

Can anyone tell me if Sackville Street and Sackville Place are two separate addresses?  I can find Sackville Street on the 1901 census but not Sackville Place?

Sackville place was off Lower Sackville Street.

It's still there and visible on Google maps, just north of and parallel to Lwr. Abbey St.

Sackville Place still exists, running east off O'Connell Street.

And from Wikipedia:

O'Connell Street (Irish: Sráid Uí Chonaill) is Dublin's main thoroughfare. It measures 49 m (160 ft) in width at its southern end, 46 m (150 ft) at the north, and is 500 m (1650 ft) in length. Known as 'Sackville Street' until 1924, it was renamed in honour of Daniel O'Connell, a nationalist leader of the early nineteenth century whose statue stands at the lower end of the street, facing O'Connell Bridge.

Thanks Shane and K Garrad, have just found it on the census - was looking in the wrong area...

I was looking for 9 Sackville Place for a James Nolan who put this address down as a residence at his son's wedding, but he must have just boarded there.  Coincidently, there are Nolans living at 9 Sackville Street....I thought I was onto something.....
