Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Occupation in 1851 census
« on: Wednesday 04 March 26 08:30 GMT (UK)  »
My first thought was that it started with "No.." so "None" does look convincing. However, as neale says, it would be better to see some more of the page.

Another successful renewal at the discount price, I've lost count of how many years now (from Australia). Very happy once again!  :D

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Mary O'Toole (ne Kinsella) arrest in Dublin between 1930 and 1940

There was also an advertisement for a lost dog "J. O'Toole, 47, Newmarket, Dublin." In the Evening Herald 4 July 1938. Is this your family?

I can access irshnewsarchive with my Australian National Library card. I had a look yesterday, but couldn't see anything that looked likely.

There was a Mary O"TOOLE of Granby Lane fined 5s for obstructing the street in 1931, but nothing that matched your description.

I can't see it on an old map yet, however there is this description of it's location:

"... Parallel to High Street are two narrow lanes, one on either side, North Back Land and South Back Lane; at right angles to the latter is a lane, Ings Lane, leading to the Ings, or swampy meadows, south of the town."

There is this entry for immigration in 1862 of BOWATER (aged 40) in Victoria. Not sure if the original image is available somewhere other than a familysearch centre.
