Dublin / Re: Dublin Street Directory 1920s?
« on: Wednesday 04 June 25 13:40 BST (UK)  »
Sunnyhill,

Thoms 1911 shows Henry W. Layng resident at 15 Adelaide Street and that he was Co. Secretary to J.H.Hunter & Co. Wholesale seed and grain merchants of 24 Ormond Quay, Dublin.
Thoms 1928 shows J.K.Layng as resident of 11 Haddington Terrace and a Miss Dowling as resident at 15 Adelaide Street .
William A.Laying (sic) is resident at Roseville Cottage,Kilternan
Unfortunately, I cannot access my copy of Thoms 1923 at the moment.
I hope the above is of some utility to you.

Thoms 1911    Add the following
  16 Thomas Lane (off Cathedral Street)   O'Shea and Liddy      Lime and sand stores

Does the prior ownership of 37 Amiens Street interest you?

Dublin / Re: House numbers Great Britain Street vs Parnell Street

Some further comments might be appropriate
Perusal of Thoms for 1911 and 1923 show the street name was changed within that period.
Shaw's Pictorial Directory 1850 shows line engravings of facades in street but unfortunately none for the premises which are of interest to you.
The Irish Times for 16th April 1867 Page ! in an advert. indicates that No. 79 was formerly No.69. I stated that before to put you on your guard as to the numeration of Dublin streets. If a dated map shows numbers if may well be in order but as time passed, Not So.

The street name was altered sometime in the 1920s but I state that based upon memory and it should be checked. Accordingly, I compared entries in Thoms Directory for 1911 and 1948 (i.e. before and after name change ) and found the numbers matched.
There is an entry in The Irish Times newspaper stating that sometime before 1867 No.69 in the street became 79.
Was a David McEvoy(died 1872) a person of interest to you (at No.208) ?
