Wicklow / Re: School in Delgany 1901

Thank you. The Joseph Russell you refer to is possibly my father, however the mother named (Emily) doesn't match the names of potential children of his grandparents (Samuel & Jane Russell). There was another unnamed child born to a Maggie Russell in Dublin on 16th January 1896. The orphanage or boarding house in the census was named as No 1, and on land owned by Richard Buckley, who I believe also owned Powerscourt. I am unable to identify this house on that map??

My father, Joseph Russell, at 4 years of age was also at that school in 1901. He subsequently went on to an Irish Church Missions orphanage in Clifden Co. Galway with three other boys I. Delgany. I have wondered  whether this Delgany orphanage (or orphanage) was the remnants of the La Touché orphanage or/and was associated with Irish Church Missions.
