Bygone Dublin street

When compiling my source work upon the Irish Times my troubles just started with the microfilm
Some years were well done while others were of variable quality.In this case (i.e. 1888) some issues were missing and others were bound out of order and yet others were only partly intact. I looked at every issue for the first third of the year and found   bits for the 26th January mixed up with the edition of  20th January and the edition for the 14th February immediately following that of the 1st February. Clearly, I must have found  the edition for 7th March somewhere and recorded the details . You canrest assured that I did not create any bogus entries,knowingly.
I shall  keep a lookout for the missing edition but clearly it could be anywhere.
Regards       Quaxer

Dear Quaxer,
Thank you for the explanation. I guessed that some editions must have gone missing, anyway considering my gt.grandfathers criminal record perhaps it's just as well.!!
Cheers,
Maureen

I've just received a copy of my great great grandparent's marriage entry. John Barry and Catherine McGauran (sometimes McGovern) at St. Catherine's, Meath Street - Sept 15, 1866. Catherine's address given as 40 Chamber Street. Her father was Ml. McGauran, Labourer.

Hi Eoin,
These are also my great great grandparents.
John Barry was a son of Patrick Barry and Hannah Doyle of Charlotte Street.
Catherine McGauran(sometimes McGovern) was a daughter of Michael McGauran and Catherine Colclough!
John Barry died in 1898 in Drumcondra Hospital. At the time of his death he lived at Mill Street Dublin. His death was registered by Hannah Kelly - his daughter. I discovered a Hannah Barry married a Mr Kelly. Is this Hannah you great grandmother? She would be my great grandfathers sister. Hanna Barry born 1867. There was also other children Patrick and James.
My great grandfather was Michael Barry lived at Chamber Street.

Hi Dubchick, Yes, Hannah Barry was my great grandmother. There was also another brother John, who we think was a gardener at Powerscourt.
Drop me a line sometime - would be great to hear from you!

Hi Eoin, thanks for posting the picture. She was very pretty wasn't she. She would be my fathers grand aunt. Her brother Michael Is my dad's grandfather. However he died before my father was born. So my dad has no knowledge of him. Michael Barry died on the 21st November 1929 at Harolds X hospice. His address is given as 41 Chamber Street. He was 57 years old.
I will email you some stuff next week or so! Just need to pull out some papers and stuff.
I'm new to this site so can't pm yet. But I have your email address. Thanks Eoin I'll be in touch soon

Look forward to it! Hannah Barry married Patrick Kelly at St. Catherine's, Meath Street on 16 November 1890 (Living at 29 Marrowbone Lane at the time), and died at the Hospice, Harold's Cross on 31 May 1946 (Living at 29 Clarendon Street, Dublin with her daughter Rosalind (Linda) Kelly). She had nine children in all, and was buried in Glasnevin. Her main address throughout her life was 132 Cork Street, where my grandmother Annie Kelly was born on St. Patrick's Day 1899. This is a photograph of her paternal Aunt, also called Hannah Barry (born August 1851, and baptised at St. Nicholas of Myra, Francis Street)
