Thankyou Highway. Would you know if there are any old photos available on-line to look at, of Bride Street or even Cummins Court?
now that would be a great find.

Regards
Malshie

Hi Malshie,

Present day Bride Street has a new development of social housing on one side and original "social housing" as built by the owners of Guinness Brewery on the other which has mostly been refurbished and is still in use today.

There was a bath house included in the complex which has recently been converted into a modern gym.

Hi Ronnie

Happy New Year.  Thanks for the picture of Bride Street, at least now I have an idea what the houses looked  like when my Gr.gr.grandparents lived there, although I suspect they wouldn`t of looked quite so lovely!
What a really good site with some beautiful photographs well worth a look.

Kind Regards

Malshie

Did you determine which of the 2 Cummins Courts you are interested in?

Hi Quaxer

No I didn't find out which Cummins Court, related to the Mahon (McMahon) family.

On the Birth Certificate of Michael McMahon dated 1866 it only states Cummins Court.

I did get in touch with the Guinness Brewery in the hope the family may of been employed there, but no record was found of any Mahon or Mcmahon.
So I actually came to a dead end.

I also tried to find a Marriage on the I.G.I. site for William and Margaret around 1862/64 but also drew a blank there.

Thanks for your interest

in Thoms directory 1922, it shows Bride St as Dublin 2 S. and 3 S.
James' St as 1 S.

It's likely to have kept the same number, I think

the oldest surviving complete Irish census is from 1901. A very small number of fragments of earlier census returns are available. There is an 1851 census extract for Dublin City district which only includes heads of households and address - this includes a Peter Devine, 9 Gratten Court

I’m almost 2 decades late, but I have some insight:

Cummins Court would have been an intersection somewhere between 107 and 108 James Street. According to the 1835 Dublin Almanac, 108 James Street was the residence of my second-great grandfather, James Cummins, who was a harness maker and saddler. As far as I can tell, that was the family trade for at least three generations. After my family no longer resided there, the property was owned by a tobacconist until Guinness ultimately purchased it.

I am not aware of the origin of the name Cummins Court and I am presuming the connection to the family name is a coincidence unless my ongoing research proves otherwise.
