Title: Cabragh (Cabra) Workhouse School on navan Road
Post by: TinaRE on Wednesday 01 March 17 15:25 GMT (UK)

Would anyone know anything about the Cabra workhouse school that was on the navan road? Was it a listed National school and where would I find records of it's pupils. Thanks

Thanks guys - yes, that is the place, St Vincents. The pictures are ones I haven't seen before which is great. What I'm wondering is if there were records held of the pupils in the school and if so where I could get them. While the initials of someone I'm researching is on the census, I have no proof that it is this person. I've been to the archives but they don't know and advised me to see if the school was a National school in which case there might be records. I have had no luck trying to find this out....

It's form number 22.1 on the Census which is only listed as South Dublin  Union Auxiliary on the Buildings return

Find My Past has Union Minute books  for Dublin might be worth a look

Thanks so much everyone. I'm hoping to go out and visit it soon so maybe they'll have something on site...

Did you find the records? I believe this is the Dublin Union Workhouse, also known as Pelletstown, later known as St. Patrick's, I believe.
If you didn't find them Tina, it seems that they're archived at The National Archives. Early records are now on Findmypast.

Kind regards,
