Dublin South Union Workhouse Infirmary

[Elle Mille]

Hi Shane, thank you for your reply! Yes it's on my agenda to take a trip into the GRO for a copy of his death cert as soon as I can. Would you know if the South Dublin Union records would give details of other family members or where he lived at the time etc?
Thanks a lot!
Oh just saw your other post there. I will take a trip in to the National Archives also. Thanks so much!

I've seen home addresses in the records, but dont think there were references to other family in any admission book entries that I've looked at. If other family were in the workhouse at the same time they would probably be listed together.

Looking forward to doing a bit of digging. You've been a great help! Thanks Shane

Hello,

My grandmother always stated that she was born on James' Street in Dublin, but I sent away for 11 separate birth possibilities - all of which were not her so I was beginning to doubt her story until I found the Workhouse located on James' Street.  My grandmother's father is later found in a poor house in Birmingham, England, so this appears to be a huge possibility of the place my gradmother was born.

I am hoping someone could look up my grandmother and her family as I would love to break this brick wall!! LOL.

My grandmother was:
BRIDGET KATHLEEN O'HANLON (HANLON) b. October 1904.

Her father was:
JOHN JOSEPH O'HANLON (HANLON) b. ABT 1875

Her mother was:
AGNES LEAHY

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!  If the entries are in fact listed alphabetically, if there are other O'HANLON (HANLON'S) as well, I would like to see if Bridget's grandfather; FRANCIS and a possible ANNIE- an elusive sister of BRIDGET's were there as well.

Thank you,

Debbie

Have you seen the family tree on Ancestry? It mentions the 3 people you did.
Bridget died in Canada?
What exactly are you wanting us to look up?
As yet I have been unable to locate Bridget in the 1911 Dublin Census.

I would like a lookup of the people in the Workhouse around the time of Bridget's birth as I cannot locate them either on any of the 1911 census' and cannot find a birth certifcate for Bridget throughout Ireland or England.

I am hoping she was born in the Workhouse so I will have a starting point.

I am almost certain that the workhouse would have been enumerated in a census. Maybe someone with more knowledge could enlighten you on this.
