Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: workhouse records.
« on: Thursday 26 October 17 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for that. The 'by leave' refers to the mother of the child - so I presume she left 'by leave of the master' and the second entry - 'left out by mother' (I think it reads) refers to her child. I was wondering if the 'O' was significant....

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / workhouse records.
« on: Wednesday 25 October 17 17:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi -

I wondered if anyone knew what this meant on an old workhouse record. I think it reads 'left out by mother' which leads me to believe she abandoned her child. There is also an '0' there too and i wondered if that was of any significance. Thanks.

Hi - I looked up Find My Past for you and there doesn't seem to be any record of a Francis Magee in the NDW.
There is a Francis Magee who lived on Fleet Street who was a shoemaker there in 1889 and a Francis magee born there in 1896.
I checked under the female spelling too just ot be sure but there is nothing.

Thanks guys - yes, that is the place, St Vincents. The pictures are ones I haven't seen before which is great. What I'm wondering is if there were records held of the pupils in the school and if so where I could get them. While the initials of someone I'm researching is on the census, I have no proof that it is this person. I've been to the archives but they don't know and advised me to see if the school was a National school in which case there might be records. I have had no luck trying to find this out....

Would anyone know anything about the Cabra workhouse school that was on the navan road? Was it a listed National school and where would I find records of it's pupils. Thanks

Laois (Queens) / Re: Maryborough Prison. This is probably a stupid question but...

Hi - I'm probably very late to the party - but not too late, I hope. Would you believe, I'm researching the same family in a roundabout way! I'm not a relation of yours but I'm very interested in a man that lodged with these Dowlings in 5 Erris Road in Cabra in the 1930's. His name was Oliver Ryan and Mary Dowling appears to have been very good to him. Would you have any information on him? His 1916 medals were sent to Mary Dowling too...he moved out of this house in 1935. 
Here is a link to his military pension file where he mentions Mary Dowling....
http://mspcsearch.militaryarchives.ie/detail.aspx

If the link doesn't work - go to military service pension and then look up 'Oliver Ryan' in the search for individual pensions. There you will find some mentions of your great aunt?
 
I hope this gives you something more to go on if indeed you are still looking for extra information.  There was also a Patricia Dowling and a Mary J (these are probably two of the children and a Bernard Dowling who died in 1940.

I also know that the houses in Cabra were built around 1932 so that is when they would have moved to there - it is very near the Navan Road.

Any information you have on Oliver Ryan would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
