Shanew147, thank you, anytime you have time will be most appreciated!

Corisande, my goodness, you must be very young! Being Jewish in Dublin was a challenge! I went to a Protestant school (Wesley) because High School (also Protestant), where my father was educated had brought in a 'Ban', just like all Catholic schools! it wasn't all onesided... Catholics were threatened with excommunication if they went to Trinity!! Fun times... but I'm showing my age!

yes, I am sure that #25 which is detached is to the left, and 26 was also detached! I do remember yours adjoined! nice photo! Shane shows in Thoms 1949
#25 Michael Jameson. In fact his name was Michael Jacobson, but in 1908 when he and my grandmother started the business, they, being refugees from eastern Europe, realising Jacobson was not a good idea, being a Jewish name, and as my grandfather enjoyed a wee drop of Jamesons... called their jewellery business Jameson's. One son, my uncle Louis Collins Jacobson, played cricket for Ireland on many occasions, and had an Irish rugby trial.

Hi, I just came across the rootschat by accident, while looking up Winton 25 Rathgar road, and noted the inquiry of ShaneW147. I lived in Winton until I was 5byears old, from 1943 - 1948, it was my grandparents home. It was sold in the late 1950s after the death of my grandmother. I don't know when they bought it, but my guess in the 1930s. I don't know if this is of any interest?
