Hi Malshie,

The Census index for 1851 shows Cummins Court as being off James' Street in the Parish of St. James.

There are just 2 houses with 12 families living there.

Hi RonnieG

Thanks for your kind reply and looking at the 1851 census,  I will have a look at James Street on multimap to see exactly where it is, good to get at least an idea of what kind of life they lived, during the 1800`s a very hard one I would imagine, Cummins Court doesn`t appear to be that great. I know my gr.gr. grandfather worked as a Copper Furnace man, I have wondered if it had anything to to with the Guiness Brewery, anyway

Thanks again
regards

Malshie,

Very likely that he had something to do with the brewery as it was easily the largest employer in the area and was situated on James's Street (and still is).

What is the family name - I will check the census again.

On the map find Christ Church Cathedral and follow the streets running west. High Street leads to Thomas Street leads to James's Street.

Thanks again, ok I shall check those streets, how exciting!

The family name is McMahon(william) - wife Margaret Flanaghan
although McMahon seems to of been transcribed as Mahon on some certificates.
