I can't believe my luck in finding out about this site and more importantly the helpful people I've found. The civil engineer John Laler sounds promising.........any guidance to find out more about this stuiff would be appreciated. This is fantastic so far !!!Thanks everyone!!!

Are you likely to be in Dublin at all?
If so, the people to talk to are in the Dublin Archives, upstairs in Pearse Street library.
http://www.dublincity.ie/living_in_the_city/libraries/heritage_and_history/dublin_city_archives/
They have all sorts of stuff there, old directories, ordnance survey maps, all sorts.

If you contact them in advance, they will gather together all relevant stuff for your visit.

If you're not likely to be in Dublin, I may have some days off in mid-February where I could get over there and look at stuff for you, but you would need to contact them first to get the relevant documents and records out.

We were in the National Archives in October but went in without "a plan" therefore we spent ages looking for bits and pieces re both our families and didn't get very far. I'm hoping to get over in the near future specifically to visit the archives. This time I'll try and be prepared beforehand.
Just for your interest my major quest has been the hunt for Denis Treacy and Anne Hannon my great grandparents. I think I mentioned them to you before so sorry if I'm being repetitive. They had my grandfather Stephen Treacy baptised in New York in 1873 but thats all I know. According to one of my uncles Anne Hannon was part of the Fitzgerald (Kennedy) family. However I can't get any info on the two of them to either prove or disprove that. Denis was born in Ireland around 1840 and although I've found one or two matches I don't have enough to prove one way or the other if they are the right Denis............

What's wrong with you all....just because it says Commercial Buildings.
You are hoping that they were born with a sliver spoon in their mouths.

Just checked 1901 Census returns of Clontarf produced by the Raheny Heritage Society. It contains no LALER but has some O'SULLIVANS
