This is so spooky!  I used to stay at 34 Wolfe Tone Villas when I was a child visiting Ireland.  My 'Auntie' Lily lived there with her son Michael - this would be in the mid 60s.  I remember there was no electricity upstairs and we had to take a candle to bed.  Michael was a bit older than me so I didn't know him too well but Auntie Lily was a lovely lady.  I think she was, or had been, great friends with my mother who had moved to England but always took me back to visit.  I also remember a John Murphy who lived at 22 Croke Avenue (his nickname was Ogie).  Again, I think he and my mother were good friends and I remember him giving me a little prayer book for my confirmation.  I'm sorry I can't help with the actual genealogy, I'm trying to find out more about my antecedents and its very difficult.  I know that someone connected to my Gran's family lived in Wolfe Tone Villas because I remember visiting them but its such a trawl!  Hope you have better luck than I'm having at the moment.
