Dublin / Re: Irish Sailors and Soldiers Land Trust dublin houses
« on: Friday 29 July 11 19:20 BST (UK)  »
We heard that, very sad, I remember her very very well, she was very good to my grandparents, I couldnt believe it when I heard the news. My gran died Sept 1997 and Grandad Dec 1997. I have wonderful memories of staying on 'sleepovers' there as a child in the 70's and 80's, my Mam was born 1948 and has a twin sister she would know a lot of the history, as soon as she rings I will fill you in.

Yes, I know her name alright will send private message, it was in or around 1998, I passed by some time ago and saw new windows and the garden is now a driveway, my Granny used to grow lupins in the border around the grass at the front, do you remember my granny and grandad? Nellie and George O'Connor? My mam has loads of info on the residents of your house and she is phoning me later.

Hi David! I just emailed you! Yes Shemalier my ggranddad was the original owner of no.18 , he was originally from Cork, we are having terrible trouble unearthing his military records as we dont have his regimental number, my mother grew up there.

David, I was so delighted to get your reply! I think you may remember my family, my GreatGrandfather sadly died young around 1937, but my mother her twin and brother grew up there, do you remember the o'connors, 18 lwr churchtown road? I am off to have a look at your links now, and I will let you know how things are going :D

Hi gnikdivad,my greatgrandfather was given one of those houses on lwr churchtown road too, sadly it was sold a while back but I am curious to know how you got on with finding any records? I had a look at the ancestry.co.uk site but I couldnt figure out how to search actual records. We cannot trace my Greatgrandfathers war history, we dont know where the medals are so we dont have a regiment number either. We reckon the sailors and soldiers trust is our best bet. Any info would be much appreciated.
Maria
