Hi

Regarding you're search for 6 Flynns Cottages.

I live in Phibsborough, and the Flynn's Cottages you are looking for still exist but are now derelict (if I'm correct on the location), and they are next to the pub at Cross Guns Bridge.  On the map its the junction of Royal Canal Bank and Phibsborough Road.

A 'Mr Flynn' and family lived in number 6 'Flynn's Cottages' and is listed as a master carrier as his profession on the census form.  There is a great photo of ...believe it or not....'Mr. Flynn's' transport wagons at the canal bridge on the 1911 census webpages.

This is a very well know area, you can see the chimney of Mountjoy prison in the background.

hope this helps.  very interested in your posting as coincidently I was a county councillor in Dún laoghaire (Kingtown) untill last year

regards

Ruairí
