Thank you for this information; unfortunately the persons I am looking for were in Belfast in 1918. I do know that they were in Dublin in 1922 and I need a directory that shows this.

With thanks

Hi Shaun and eadaoin

I would appreciate lookups for my gran, Louise Nash [christened Charlotte Louise] b 1900.  She is in the 1911 census in Waterford with her mother Hannah Nash [widow]. Hannah and family went to live in Three Bridges sometime between then and 1921 but Louise went to Masonic Girl's School in Dublin so I gather she stayed in Ireland. She was said to be the first female bank teller in Dublin and in 1925 married William Layng in Kingstown Methodist church. The wedding cert showed her address as address 15 Adelaide Street, Kingstown. They then lived in Kiltiernan.

Any records for Louise between 1911 and 1925 in particular would be appreciated, thank you.

This snip names parent - hopefully correct Charlotte in the frame?

Yes that's my gran. It seems she was called Charlotte quite a bit or always before she was married [didn't know that] but then changed to Louise. These are great thank you! Hadn't seen them other than the marriage record. It looks like it wasn't easy to get into the school!

Sunnyhill,

Thoms 1911 shows Henry W. Layng resident at 15 Adelaide Street and that he was Co. Secretary to J.H.Hunter & Co. Wholesale seed and grain merchants of 24 Ormond Quay, Dublin.
Thoms 1928 shows J.K.Layng as resident of 11 Haddington Terrace and a Miss Dowling as resident at 15 Adelaide Street .
William A.Laying (sic) is resident at Roseville Cottage,Kilternan
Unfortunately, I cannot access my copy of Thoms 1923 at the moment.
I hope the above is of some utility to you.
