Dublin / Re: 19 Newmarket St Dublin's Liberties.
« on: Friday 16 August 24 14:28 BST (UK)  »
Due to your kind help, this would be the location of no 19 Newmarket St circa 1913, the home of Nellie Bushell who would listen to the work's composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney famous for Ireland's National anthem.
Heeney and Kearney would often walk in the Dublin Mountain's composing song's, when the weather was bad the duo would visit their friend Nellie Bushell for her opinion on their works, so its fair to assume that Nellie was the first woman to hear the duo's rendition of 'A soldiers song' which became the National anthem.
Sadly in 1911 Patrick Heeney passed away aged 29 in Jervis st hospital, he died in Poverty.
Peadar Kearney, died in 1942 aged 58.
Nellie Bushell, died in 1948.

Thank you very much, The reference map from 1913  gives a relatively reasonable location to where the house location would be today.
Thank you, much appreciated.

Dublin / 19 Newmarket St Dublin's Liberties.
« on: Wednesday 14 August 24 16:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has a street map showing the address/location of No 19 Newmarket St in Dublin Liberties in approx 1907-1910.

In 1907 a lady called Nellie Bushell lived there and was friendly with Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney who wrote and composed the Irish National anthem.
I am basically looking to cross reference where the address was then, and it's approximate location today.
I do have several old photos showing the street with a mix of styles of house,  majority of them were Tenements during the era Nellie lived there.
Thank you.

Just to add, Mount Jerome Cemetery is also used for cremation's, at the time would have been one of a few in the Sth City to supply that option.

Not unusual at the time for people (especially working class) to be unaware of the exact year of birth unless it coincided with a historical event, lot of working class people steered well clear of the authorities due to the fact that they were unable to read or write.

Dublin / What became of Mary Lacken.
« on: Monday 24 June 24 23:39 BST (UK)  »
In 1896 Mary Lacken lived at 15 Balls lane off Arran St East in Dublin, Mary sold fish and would gut her fish in the back yard of her home at Balls lane, in May 1896 Mary would lose her temper with her teenage son John aged 15 after he constantly complained about his breakfast that morning, Mary threw a pair of large scissors she was using at her son and sadly one of the blades embedded in his back, she instantly regretted her actions and pulled the scissor blade from his back,but the lad ran a short distance from his home and eventually dropped to the ground a short distance away, despite been aided by a local policeman he sadly died before he reached a nearby hospital.
Mary was arrested but im at a loss to discover what became of her, hopefully someone may have access to newpaper article which may have covered the case in late May 1896.
