Hi Shane .. Thanks for that information ..I`v also got old photo`s from ,. T King 5 North Earl St. (under the clock)...Charles Howell 2 Henry St,...Roe McMahon 25 upper Sackville St... J Edwards 1 Wellington Quay ... Keogh Bros 75 Lower Dorset St...and the Central Studio`s 18 North Earl St... Would I be asking too much for some help dating them ..

Thanking You Anthony

Anthony, some more directory entries on the photographers you asked about

  both listed in 1914 (neither listed in 1894)

  Keogh Bros, 75 Dorset st - 1914

  H. Roe McMahon 11 Harcourt St,
    25 Sackville St & 37 Grafton St

these entries would appear to suggest that the earliest possible date for some of your photos is sometime between 1894 and 1914. Maybe berdina's McMahon  timeline could help to establish when the McMahon Photographers changed from father Roe to son Henry..

Re your No.5 Thoms 1911 has a full page advert facing  P.2204 for Roe McMahon with addresses given as No.11 Harcourt Street, No.37 Grafton Street and No.25 Sackville Street.
Except for Keogh Bros. in Dorset Street none of the others appear.

Thoms 1923 ...I should have added to my reply No.9 for the addresses you gave.
Upon perusal of Index for 1923 Roe M'Mahon shown as artist and photographic agent and importer at No.11 Harcourt Street and No. 37 Grafton Street with residence at No. 1 Terenure Park Terenure.
In addition  a H Roe MacMahon is shown at Kentucky , Howth Road
For 1928  no mention of H at Kentucky and Roe is also at No.55 Lwr.O'Connell Street.
Similar 1929  except a Roe L> is at Kentucky Howth Road
For 1934 delete the O'Connell Street address and Roe L's address is now Kentucky 155 HowthRoad.
Thoms 1942, 1945, 1948 7 1951 show only the Harcourt and Grafton Street addresses (nothin for residences that is apparent) The 1958 vol. has an entry in the Index only and the 1942 and 1948 Vols. describe him also as a wireless dealer.                    Regards    Quaxer
