Would anyone by any chance know where this place might have been? The death certificate for my GG Grandfather John Day gives his place of death as 3 Farley's Court. The death was registered in the district of Blackrock in the union of Rathdown, and the year was 1910. The same address is given for the residence of the Informant, John's son, also John.
The following year, John Jnr was living elsewhere in Blackrock, here http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Blackrock_No__2/Brookfield_Buildings/88227/
I've checked maps for the period but can find no reference to Farley's Court in the Blackrock area. I've also of course tried google, but it only throws up one reference to Farley's Court in Dublin, and that is in St Audeons parish in Dublin City. Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stephen

the only possible clue I've been able to find so far is a Farley & Co. meat stores at number 17 on Newtown Ave., Blackrock. Maybe Farley's court was associated with this ?
Also on the same Road in 1910 is a T. J. Farley esq., at Ardmore (number 39).

They're interesting possibilities - thank you Shane.

Could you paste a pic of the address just to be sure that it does in fact say 'Farley's Court'

...
looks like Farley's Court to me ...
Does the cert mention a number after district - e.g. Blackrock no 1 or 2 ?
Shane
-
No unfortunately. In both places where it mentions the district, it refers to it purely as Blackrock, without a number.
thanks,

I suppose the only other theories are that either the registrar misheard John when he was registering the death OR John himself gave an incorrect address by mistake !

Hi Folks,
Farrelly’s Court (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Blackrock/Farrelly_s_Court/) did exist in 1901 (note spelling), I know I have come across it before and will check to see if I have an exact location as there is something in the back of my mind that some Courts were replaced with ‘buildings’ such as Brookfield, Victoria, etc.
John.

Well spotted John! Farrelly's Court it is. I'm not sure I'll ever find the exact location of it, but it seems a reasonable bet that it was gone by 1911 to be replaced by the likes of Brookfield Buildings.
Thank you,
Stephen

Farley's Court could be the name of the building have you check with any Estate Agents http://www.daft.ie

I would be inclined to go with Colur. All my family came from various courts in Blackrock - tiny little one and two roomed houses, Hughes Ct, Kenny's Ct, Madden's Ct, Broad Ct, all little laneways off Carysfort Avenue and Sweetmans Avenue this old osi map shows some of the Courts but Farley's is not obvious.
