Greaves Cottages, Newfoundland Street

[Rustie]

Can anyone help me with the location of Greaves Cottages, Newfoundland Street, Dublin.  I have a map of Newfoundland Street but there is no mention of Greaves Cottages.  My g grandfather was living at no 5 when he married.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

The 1909 directory (checked today in the Gilbert) lists Grave's (sic) cottages as being at 7 Newfoundland Street.

7 Newfoundland Street was occupied by a John Elliott, dairy in 1909 and 1913.

Thank you for that information.  The address on the marriage certificate is 5 Greaves Cottages, Newfoundland Street, so I suppose the spelling could be incorrect. but what is strange is that Thomas and Annie's first child was born at 9 Newfoundland Street.  I do not suppose you have any further information on this street and the type of houses that were there?  Thank you again.

9 Newfoundland Street in 1913 was listed as tenements as was much of the street.

Thanks so much.  Now,  any idea where Upper Iona Street was?  This is a puzzle I can not solve!  It must be near.  Any thoughts?  Cheers!

Saw your post regarding Newfoundland Street.  I believe your gg grandfather was my gg grandfathers brother.  I'm aware your post was some time ago, but if you're still researching family history, would love to get in touch.
