Sorry Gerry, it was the National Archives for the schools records, not Ancestry. My mistake.

Dublin / Re: Primary schools Capel st,1871/1878

Church of Ireland children usually attended their parish school and the nearest parish to Capel Street was St. Mary's Church in Mary Street but I'm not exactly sure where the school was. Other northside local parishes were St. Michan's, St. Paul's and St. George's which were near enough to Capel Street, however a little further afield would have been St. Werburgh's or St. John's on the other (south) side of the River Liffey. You could try Ancestry if you have a subscription to see school records. I think that's where I got my mother's school record and her siblings. Good luck!

The Lighter Side / Re: What's the oddest name you've found?

I've had such a chuckle reading these posts. Most of mine are run of the mill names, however I did come across a lady in my family baptised Victoria Jubilee Ellen in Dublin in June 1897 which was Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. I think it's quite a nice name myself. I suppose she should thank herself lucky they didn't name her Diamond!
