Hello,
Doing a quick search shows properties for sale in Gulistan Cottages, Rathmines. There are some images also. They show on Google map.

Try this..
this is the OSI site and the present day map for Rathgar etc. Use the pan section to move around. If you find the are click on the historic 25 map and that would have been around the date you require.

Hello,
you can send for a photocopy of the marriage entry for 4 euros https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx
You have the volume and page number on your other thread.

I checked Thom's directory for 1918 and all it says for Gulistan cottages (Ranelagh) is what looks like "63" small cottages (I may have read the number wrong, no matter).
But critically, no breakdown (surname) details, so sorry ...

i have just returned from dublin ireland,my wife kathleen murphy dunford had a brother william who had died so we flew over to his funeral biggest one i have seen,he had 34 grand children,all of them were calling me uncle,then while there got in touch with nli kildare street where we were intruduced to a profesional searcher anne -maria smith M.A.P.I,on friday gave her some information onthemurphy family on monday she had thpmas murphy army records,for us,mary ann duffy ,lived at 1 westmorland park with thomas murphys mother anne walsh,and thomas loived at number 3 westmoreland park with his two brothers micheal and patrick,also where mary ann duffy lived with her nmother and father in gullensten cottages there was a public house in front of these cottages ,in the 1920 dublin public houses were green grocers to,and micheal and patrick murphy worked behind the bar ,and thomas murphy was grocer boy that is where he met mary ann duffy,
she is sending me the marrige record of john murphy to anne walsh,married in kingstown dublin,before the marraige they both worked as servants john murphy living at croftonj terrace kingstown,dublin.and anne walsh geoge street kingstown
a civil birth record found patrick murphy born 1880 lists his father as coachman
and on the birth of jane in 1876 he is recorded as a groom,this would tie in with his occupation as a stableman onthe 1901 census returns,
also as we found out john murphy born 1850 was a stabeman in trinity college in 1901
his son thomas murphy born 1890 worked in trinity college till his death in 1937
and his son patrick francis murphy retired from trinty college in 1993.
so with this knowlege went into trinity college ,they gave us a pass to enter ,which we used,found two ladies in charge andthey have promised to send all information onto us,hoping this will help any other murphy trees ,if i get any more i will pass it on,from bob dunford
