If you could tell us the date, I could include that and see if people post about the area and what happened not necessarily about specific people.

People do find topics here through internet search engines, someone could come along and reply.

St Josephs Mansions has been refurbished  and upgraded are now known as Killarney Court, there are many 'old neighbour's' still living in the immediate area who would have lived there since they were opened in apprx 1934.
If you like to drop me a PM i could possibly help, I also have several Photo's of 'Joseph's mansions' from the time they were opened up to the way they have been revamped, many of these photos include the Tenants that lived there down through the Year's.

Hi,
I know this post was a few years ago now but I was searching for information about St Joseph Mansions Dublin.  My son is doing a project about a significant building for a family member.  My mother was born in 1934 and lived at St Josephs Mansion when the bomb landed in the North Strand.  The more I look at photos of damage to the streets around that area after the bomb, I am amazed not see any photo's of st Joseph Mansions.  I see in a response above, somebody had photos from 1934 for a few years after and I'm wondering if I could see them, or if anybody had any information about the flats at that time I would love to hear.  thanks

You should try Dublin City Council for old photos. They may even have copies of architectural drawings from when the flats were built.

St Joseph's Mansions was Killarney Street hence the new name of Killarney Court
St Mary's Mansions is on Sean McDermott Street
One street runs into the other but the two Mansions are on opposite (not directly) sides of the road.

Hey Sinann,the mystery is that in 1944,my uncle got married and he put his address as 24J st Mary's mansions.
Then his sister (my mother)got married in 1946 and put her address as 24J st Joseph's mansions.
Could there be a reason for this back then.
Thanks for looking

They won’t have written the address themselves, I’d say in one case the person who did, probably the priest, though he knew where they lived and only asked for the number and followed with the wrong mansion.
Records are littered with errors, either copying errors, mis heard errors or informants having incorrect information.
Only last week I found a birth cert where the parents surnames are mixed up.

Hey Sinann, slightly off topic, would you have any idea where or if there are national school records for children of familys who lived in chapel st Dublin between 1871 and 1879.
Thanks for reading,rgds, Gerry

Have you tried the Ireland, National School Registers, 1847-1954 on FamilySearch?
https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/4496116

Likewise maybe contact with the National Archives Ireland where they may be of assistance.
