Hi Xotan-
many thanks for your reply- very very interesting.Some facts that I have :
I know that my gggrandfather Jeremiah Colclough lived in no 4 Buckingham St in 1870 and 1871(Thoms Directory). He married in 1871 and then moved to 47 Hardwicke St with his wife Bridget (nee Mc Cormick - I believe originally from Co MEATH).He had one son Patrick ( my great grandfather) born 17/3/1872.Jeremiah died in June 1872 but his wife remained in Hardwicke Street till 1900.She was listed in Thoms for the period 1873 to 1900.Patrick married in 1900 my ggreat grandmother Catherine Cahill from Naas and their son John Jeremiah was born in 1902(my grandfather).
The 1901 census shows Bridget in St Monicas nursing home in Belvedere Place.She died in 1906
The census also shows John Jeremiah and new wife Catherine in Derrynane Parade.They had 8 other childern and moved house a few times (Valentia Parade -Caledon Road-Church Road- Brendans Road (that I know off) and finally back to no 42 Hardwicke St in 1920 where Patrick died from ( shortly after birth of last daughter)

From what was passed down thro family(albeit sketchy),Jeremiah had come from Cork/Kerry (and from earlier thread ,I may have found his parents in BANTRY 1829.We are told he may have had some wealth which passed to his wife when he died young.We believe he may have worked as a Land agent clerk- a caligropher  ( wasnt Patrick Shortall an builder/ architect?).Both Jeremiah and Bridget were buried in unmarked graves in Glasnevin

yes I agree with you ,it is a bit of a coincidence that 2 families were living around the same time or just after one another in the same houses .

Yes I would love for you to send a copy of your picture of 47 Hardwicke St. I have heard so much about it at this stage (can you private message it or post it here?)

I hope some of these facts can touch a cord with any of your research as our Jeremiah is a real mystery.
ie : we think he came from Cork/Kerry as Coakley - moved to Dublin as Colclough ,marries ,has a son and dies all within 12 months leaving very little info behind

many thanks again for your super post

@ My luck

just checked my transcript from Irish Times and it indeed does give an address of 47 Hardwicke Street but doesnt say he died there .

@Hasta .Can I ask where you viewed the actual original as would love to see it

HI Shanew147

you mentioned Patrick Shortall in your post  as living at 47 hardwicke street and I checked it on the other posts in Rootschat-(very interesting).Yes it would seem that he moved into no 47 after my gggrandmother(Brigid Colclough wife of Jeremiah) moved out.
Interestingly enough their first son (Patrick Colclough born 1901) (my great grandfather moved back to Hardwicke Street no 42 in 1919/1920 where he died very young also
Wonder what the attraction of this street was ?

Another question , you may be able to throw light on
When Jeremiah died in 1872 he was listed in Thoms as living in 47 Hardwicke St. His wife is listed there for next 28 years.If she didnt work ,would they have owned the house or was it typical of the time to rent (and therefore have the have lodgers to help pay )

Hi all
thanks for your efforts so far .Just to clarify for you (so you dont have to double check some records)
His name is Jeremiah (his father is Cornelius) He lived in 47 Hardwicke Street and this is also verified in Thoms Directory. On his death cert from Glasnevin he was listed as a Land agent Clerk .I heard stories in family that this may have been in Dublin Castle and hence my interest in

a) any records from Dublin Castle - do they keep them etc etc
b) how would I found out how he died as it is not on cert in Glasnevin or Irish times listing

thanks again
