Title: 17 Georges place Dublin - what was it in 1888?
Post by: Miss Trees on Saturday 28 July 18 17:32 BST (UK)
I am tracing what I believe to be my family in Dublin i.e. the family of Henry Wilson & Isabella Saunders of north Dublin. (Still looking for definitive proof but all clues lead to yes).

Henry & Isabella's son Trevor was committed to Richmond Lunatic Asylum in 1887, and the patient records indicate the parents are residing at two different addresses: Isabella at 3 Kings avenue and Henry at 17 Georges place, North Dublin. In June 1888, Henry dies of 'paralysis' at Mater Misericordiae hospital with his name recorded as "Henry Wilson from 17 Georges Place".

Is anyone familiar with that address or know if it may have been an institution or part of Mater? It looks like it might be the street around the former St George's church off Hardwicke place.

If you go to Irish Genealogy Church Records and just enter the address 17 Georges Place
you will get baptisms,marriages and Henry's death 1888                      17 George's Place
note the apostrophe between the e and s
you get different hits using either spelling

It was known as George's Pocket.
King's avenue was not too far away, in Ballybough.

Thanks for the pictures! - marvelous. And the local name has given me more to search on.

I had found the burial record earlier, along with many of their children's baptisms on IrishGenealogy.ie (sadly my gg grandfather's who I believe is another son is not among them).

I guess it will forever be a mystery why Henry was not living with his wife the year before he died.
