Saint Patrick's House

[Earth.Traveller]

This is part of Andrew's death cert.  The right hand box says 'Andrew Mylod' and the next line, I think, is 'from'.  But can anyone make out the name of the street.

I also found his burial record at Glasnevin Cemetery.  It gives his address as 10 O'Sullivans Avenue, Dublin.  I have not been able to find that street.

Can any one help?

Hard to read the address but could it be Britian St.? (Britain)

[Earth.Traveller]

That is what I first thought, aghadowey.  Maybe (Great) Britain street - misspelled.  Were there any streets ending in -tian, I wonder?

It does look like Britian.  Parnell St. was formerly known as Great Britain Street.  Little Britain Street is near the end of Parnell St. in the North Inner City.   There was a family Named Mollin (could be Mullin or Mallin) living at 10 O'Sullivan's Avenue, Mountjoy DED (also north inner city) at the time of the 1911 Census.   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Mountjoy/O_Sullivan_s_Avenue/14752/

I didn't find O'Sullivans Avenue on modern day maps.  I need to check Dublin street directories next week when I go to a library.

Just a comment on the street name (Britian/Britain) in the death cert.  Parnell died in 1891 and the Parnell monument was completed in 1911.  Surely Great Britain street would have been called Parnell street by 1915?

as you suspected the name seems to have changed to Parnell street sometime between 1894 and 1914

in 1914 there is  Britain street, little, off Capel street, and  Parnell Street, off Sackville street


in 1894   Great Britain Street, (and a Parnell terrace)

O'Sullivan's avenue was, and still is, off Ballybough road - between numbers 26 and 27

     and search for : O'Sullivan Ave, Dublin 3

 beside my ancestors in Foster Terrace &  Charleville Ave.

1911 census has Great Britain St. (DEDs- Rotunda, Mountjoy, North City), Little Britain St. (DED- Inn's Quay) and Britain Quay (Dublin Port, DED- South Dock). Also a Parnell Place (DED- Rathmines & Rathgar West).

[shanew147]

The 1914 directory has Britain Lane, Britain quay, Britain street, little and a one line entry for Britain Street, great with the notation  see : Parnell Street

it must have changed then between 1911 and 1914

maybe due to the fact that the change was recent, some people used the previous name
