Hi Super Researchers!

I am looking for some advice.

According to a marriage cert I have ancestors living in 1865 in 10 Fleming's Place (James Kenny, labourer, born c1844 and died 25 April 1887) and 3 Fleming's Place (Eliza Tigh, servant, born c1847 and died 18 January 1897). Their fathers are Michael Kenny (labourer) and James Tigh (labourer). After their marriage I have them remaining in Fleming's Place in the 1870's before moving to other addresses in the immediate vicinity in the 1880's. Both died before the 1901 census so I haven't been able to confirm they are definitely originally from Dublin. Given they were married less than 2 months before their first child was born, I wondered if they had moved from outside Dublin for anonymity.

I haven't the mothers names for either of the people on the marriage cert above on either the civil record or the church record so have been unable to go back an earlier than that for them.

Has anyone any suggestions any where else I could search to potentially find information that would allow me to:

- Find the mother's names for James Kenny and Eliza Tigh? I would like to find the baptismal details for them or the marriage records for their parents
- Find who else lived in the above addresses around that time that would help me confirm they are in fact locals?
- Any additional info that would take me back before 1865 on that branch of my tree

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the general vicinity of where Burkes Court, Dublin would be?

Many thanks in advance

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can make out the full cause of death in the box I have highlighted red?

I believe it says "cystitis ?? failure certified".

Many thanks in advance

Hi Ann

I am not sure where you are based but if you can get into the NLI in Dublin City Centre they have the Thom's Official Directory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the Year 1916 available to view in the Main Reading Room and in the Manuscripts Reading Room of the library. You need to be a member to access it but that is free and usually the card can be created without an appt. I know Thom's didn't contain a list of residents but it might have the name of the business at that address, which might get you further along in your search.

Or have you considered contacting the Military Archives to see if they have any record of someone who served in the 1916 Rising called John at that address. Might be a long shot but it is prob where I would start.

The Free Genealogy Advisory Service in the National Archives have been really good before when I have asked for advise on how to go further with research and they are another stop you could try. You just fill in the questionnaire and email it in to them. You might be lucky and they might have an interest in 1916 and go that little extra mile for you.

Best of luck, sorry I could think of a specific directory that would be of use to you.
