Dublin / Re: Johnson Family of Hollyville Park, Dublin, Ireland

Hollyville Park was the name of a house on Newtownpark Ave, in Blackrock, South County Dublin. The birth reference for Arthur is listed in the BMD Index in the district of Rathdown, which includes Blackrock.

In 1877 the address is listed in Thom's Directory as :

  The Misses Richardson, Hollyville park

There's a possible match for Arthur's parent's marriage in Dublin North City :

 Name: George William Johnson
 registration district: Dublin North
 Event type: Marriage
 Quarter and year: 1875
 Volume : 12 / Page : 415

 Name: Gretta Blanche Walker
 [same references as George]

There may be some confusion here - there were two places called Hollyville Park, located within a few miles of each other.  I think you are looking for Hollyville Park School, which was located at an address which is now 3 Carrickbrennan Road, Monkstown, Co Dublin.  It is located very close to the Catholic and Protestant churches in Monkstown.

Fr Colm Conlon is indeed alive and well and living in California, Liam is indeed on the family farm at Lisdisson.  Their mother was Lily (not Anne) Ganly.  Peter Conlon (1858-1945), schoolmaster Tubberclair was Joe's uncle and my grandfather.  Joe's father was Patrick Conlon, Peter Conlon's brother.  The parents of Patrick and Peter was Hugh Conlon and Anne Cormick, and they lived at Corbrack, Tang, a tiny townland between Tang church and Tang school.  Peter Conlon commenced his teaching career at Tang school as a "monitor" aged about 16.  Hugh's land-holding of 32 acres can be seen in the Griggith's Valuation which is online and includes a map showing his holding.  I believe the father of Hugh Conlon was John Conlon.  His (John's) record of tax assessment can be seen in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1829 which are available online at familysearch.org

Dublin / Re: My Birney's of Dun Laoghaire

The 1901 census shows Francis Birney's family

It shows The family (With a young wife called Lucy?) - she was from Galbally, Co. Tipperary). He, Frances Birney (Great Grandfather)is listed as a Berthing Master, and Lucy has the same occupation. They lived at 20 Oriel St, North Dock. In the late 1960's Oriel St was home to the most advanced computer facility in the country - the CIE system, and I had cause to visit it regularly.
John (Grandfather) is 21 and is listed as a Fitter
The house is classified as 3rd class, because it had 3 rooms and only 1 window in front

My grandparents were Peter Conlon (1858-1946) and Margaret Conlon (Nee O'Toole or Toole)(1865-1945)  They were married at Tubberclaire on 10/07/1891 and had offspring as follows:
Rev. Hugh Conlon(1893-1918)
Tom Conlon (1894-1965), farmer... my father
Ellie Conlon (1896-1929)
Dr Patrick Conlon (1897-1976)
Rev Willie Conlon (1900-1978)
John Conlon

Peter Conlon was born Tang on 24/05/1858, where his parents were Hugh Conlon, and Anne Conlon (Nee Cormick).  Both Peter and Margaret were teachers at Tubberclair National School, and moved to Walderstown (4 miles east) on retirement.
