hi Trish,thanks for answering the call.
there was a little bonus for me too because poole street
is on your map too and I had just found my Kavanagh family
living there on the 1911 census and was'nt sure where it was.
I hope your Paris trip went well despite the rain.

Thanks for all the info guys.

My mam was really delighted that i found her dads family. (thanks to it being online). She had always thougth prices row or marrowbone lane was where they came from. So close for so long trying to find them, and they were just around the corner.

Just another quick question, Anne, when you mentioned that your family was involved in a carriage business, did they ever put on the census returns "car owner"? As a ggm of mine put car owner on her census return for 1901? And i was wondering if it was one and the same.

cheers for all the help

Just to jump in on this thread to say that my gr gr grandparents lived at 64 Cork Street from 1883-1905.  This was on the south side of street at end adjoining the Coombe and all this side disappeared with road widening some years ago so sadly the place would be unrecognisable today save for some buildings on the north side.

Trish, could you post section of map for west end of Cork street?

Thanks,  Anne

No, cabs and cars were different.  A cab was a two/four wheeled carriage which could accommodate luggage as well as passengers.  There were no two wheeled Hansom cabs in Dublin as far as I know.  A car was a vehicle with no roof and two seats where the passengers sat back to back facing outwards - like tourist jaunting cars - but there was little or no room for luggage.  Must have been fun going around corners! My ancestors had both cabs and cars.

If you'd like a higher quality image covering a slightly larger area, PM me your email - it's about 1.2MB of a file.
I've resized and cropped this to post here.

Hi Lorna

I remembered coming across your refereces to the Bond Street/Robert Street /prices row area of Dublin, where my ancestors lived too, some time ago so thought of you today when I  found (on irishgenealogy.ie) a record of a Martha Peel marrying a Mr Seberry, one of them with an address in Bond Street. The Seberrys remained friendly with my ancestors for generations so the Bond Street address  back in the 19th century perhaps explains the origin of the friendship.  This Mrs Martha Seberry ended up living with her single daughters as neighbours of my grandparents on the South Circular Road in Dublin  (the Seberrys lived in what is now Number 600 South Circular Road) until her death in approx the 1950s  I'm not sure if any of the Seberrys had children - perhaps the line died out.  One of Mrs Seberry's sons was a cooper in Arthur Guinness and sons and I suspect  Mr Seberry Snr was too

So another link for your tree
