Looking for descendants of James and Michael Coffey who lived in Malpas Place and Malpas Terrace Dublin, in 1920s and 1930's.
-
1939 register of electors for Dublin shows
James and Mary Coffey 4 Malpas Terrace
Michael and Mary Coffey 5 Malpas Place.
These addresses can be followed up till about 1962 at Pearse St Library if any of their children reached 21 to vote they will then appear on the register up to 62/64.
-
If you knew their wives maiden names you could run a search for Coffey children born up to 1958 on Irish Civil Registration Index at Family Search.org

Here are James c 1889 and Michael c 1887 in the 1901 census in Malpas Terrace
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Merchants_Quay/Malpas_Terrace/1345386/
and here's the family in 1911 ...neither of the boys are married yet
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Merchants_Quay__part_of_/Fumbally_s_Lane/79656/
Their father,James is a policeman, born in Kerry.
This is a possibility for the marriage of Michael
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FYNB-RZS
and maybe his death
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FTPP-35Q
Can't find any of their children but there is a Norah here
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F13M-SMK
Michael and James's mother was Norah and so was their sister so this could be the child of one of the boys....not much help!!!

Thanks for that information, dathai.
James was married to Mary (May) Gardner. Members of her family also show up in that area on the 1939 register.

My name is Pat Monks and grand uncle of same name lived at 2 Malpas Terrace for many years until mid 50's. Wild hope you may have old family photos that just might include someone from the Monks family

Hello Pat, I will ask my sister May and my other sisters if they knew a Mr Monks, the name sounds familiar but they are older and lived in the Terrace. Not sure about any photos of any Monks family though, but will ask and see. Will try to update later this week. Best wishes Donna

Thanks May, really chuffed for that memorial photo, really appreciated. Love to know if you knew any of Patrick's children
May, I have a page from 1940's Malpas Terrace Electoral Register which includes the Coffey Family. Tried to attach here but afraid the file is too big. If you would like to have it I could email it. Pat

Thanks Daithi, found his grave recently and from there leads to his children. Hoping to trace descendants who may have photos

Hello Pat, you are most welcome. Don’t forget if you want the memory card itself May can send it across to you. She also actually knew him, said he was a real gentleman and always dressed very well, his picture on the card reflects this. Best wishes on your ongoing search.
