Dublin / Re: Lower Meckle Street Dublin
« on: Saturday 15 October 16 21:29 BST (UK)  »
Mecklenburg Street is part of the "Monto" area of Dublin and was renamed a couple of times to improve its image as it was known as a red light district.

It was renamed Tyrone Street Upper and Tyrone Street Lower in 1887

Tyrone street Upper was then renamed to Railway Street (in 1912, I believe) which is the currrent name.

Tyrone Street Lower became Waterford Street and has since been demolished.

Wexford / Re: Bridget O'Gorman

So Bridget and Michael had 4 children and 4 great grand children. They did indeed end up in Dublin but the family was seperated due to Michael's death during WW1. Michael's employer at the time helped the family out, but for a time my Grandfather was sent to live with relatives in Carroreigh. She is buried in Deansgrange cemetary.

I can send you more details and dates via IM as restrictions seem to have lifted.

Ah, Pitty about the IM restrictions. I will have to break up my sentences to make many more posts to meet the restriction.

Hey,
I am a descendant of Bridget. A few year back I saw your posts regarding Mary Whitty Gorman at the time I was working from a bunch of Death Cards with several Michael Gorman's, so was cautious about linking her to my tree as I wasnt sure which one she was married to, but knew she was related.

Mary Whitty is my GGGrandmother through Bridget(so she did indeed live till adulthood).

Send me an IM.
