Dublin / Re: Loughlinstown Workhouse

This may not help Reigns1989 but others may be of use to other -

My grandmother wrote to the AIRR project in Hawkins House, Dublin a few years ago to see what information they had on her. We received a page of the minutes from one of the Board meetings.

It appears my grandmother spent the first ten months of her life in the Workhouse before going to a foster home on the Commons Road (just across the dual carriageway from hospital). She was one of several children "boarded out" from this place.

If it's any help, the parish is Ballybrack (my grandmother was born to an unmarried mother in Loughlinstown in 1923). It's the Church of St. Alphonsus and Columba, Church Avenue, Killiney - http://www.ballybrack-killiney-parish.org/.

I ended up taking the Ancestry DNA test to try and find grandmother's birth parents - it's been an interesting journey  ;)

Out of curiosity - did you look up the birth record on irishgenealogy.ie? I had some luck for the father of an illegitimate great uncle where the father was listed on the cancelled cert on the same page.

Hi shume, she was born in Dublin in 1914. Everything in the death notice ties in with the birth certs I found for her siblings.

Thanks all for your prompt replies.

Thanks cupoflife - those are the names of her siblings.

Thanks Jamjar - the death notice confirmed what I suspected, that Catherine wasn't married.

Thanks also to Valerie Kehoe who pm'd me info about Victoria State Library.

If I can repay the favour, let me know.

Cheers,

Sharon

Hi folks, I was hoping someone could take a look or point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to find any information on the above lady. She died on 8 January 2006 in Melbourne and I think her death notice is in The Age newspaper on 10 January 2006.

I have some credits on scotlandspeople so if I can repay the favour, I'd be more than happy to.

Thanks in advance,
Sharon

Just a quick up-date. On a bright and sunny New Year's Day we got a taxi out to Dalbeth. Thanks to Arygenes directions we found the grave location. Sadly, but as I had expected, there was no headstone.

I found it via google images. Appears to have come from deceasedonlineblog.blogspot.com.

Thanks again!

Thanks Davie!

Yep - It's St Peter's. I looked up the registers in the Mitchell Library when I visited a few years ago.

I'm not hopeful that there will be a gravemarker but at least the walk will blow a few cobwebs away on New Year's Day  :D
