Gibney's

[penderiki]

Hi...can anyone help with the following:

Bridget Kelly, born 1884 in Tinahely, County Wicklow, to John and Mary Kelly.
In 1910 she married Edward Gibney, born Aughrim County Wicklow  c. 1883.
In 1911 they were lodging in Capel Street, Dublin.
They may have had a contracting business in later years supplying stone to Dublin Corporation.
I have the census information for Bridgets birth family in Wicklow.
Bridget Gibney died 30/8/1958.

Does anyone have any further information on the Gibneys?

Thanks,
Tom.

Hi Penderiki,
I lived in Innisfallen Parade N.C.Rd. which wouldn't be too far from Caple Street, they were houses built circa 1880s. I was born 1942 but growing up as a child i remember Mrs Gibney who lived nearby (across the road) If my memory served me right she ran a little dairy shop (Milk, Eggs, Cheese etc.) I have looked up the electoral records and the number of the house would confirm it was a shop. I left the area for a number of years in 1959 and again I believe she had died sometime around then. Her Name was Brigid Gibney. This info is only from memory and the electoral records of  1939 -1940 but hopefully it may start you off or jog somebodys thoughts. Good Luck

Regards

Tony

Hi, James, My name is Tony Carey, I lived with my Grandmother in no. 37 Innisfallen Parade. Her name was "Guthrie" I was sometimes called Tony Guthrie. 37 is on the opposite side to Gibneys and about 5 doors towards the top. Joe McCann lived opposite "Gibney's" That was mid 40s. My Mother and father later bought a house  No.60 opposite my Grandmothers. I'm long gone from there but my Son still owns 37.

Hi Penderiki! Care to share your name? I lived in 37 Innisfallen from about 1944-45 until 1952. I remember Mrs. Gibneys dairy, milk & Eggs. The shop changed hands before I left to a Mrs. or Ms. "Hogg" or something like that. Ellises's shop was on the other corner. Later became Slattery's. Down from Gibney's you had familie's, I can't remember them all, but there was Kenny's, Lawless's. Accross the road, Mrs. Culhane and her son John (hope I spelled that right). The Bree's, Then  Scarlett's I think, Mick Coyne, Eileen Burke & McCann's on the high step. Skip a few then Paddy Kenny, Mrs Guthrie, skip1 then Bartley's. Top John Felming and the shop.Accross the road Traynor's, Down at Lynche's shop, 72 Condon's, 75 McKeever's. Further down on high steps, Barkers or Bakers (lost a young son about 1950 in a bike accident.) On the other, Mrs. O'Hanlon (Shay the Cyclist) Butler's then Linsey's. Opposite Valentia Parade.There were Murray's There were also Mr.Mrs. Gunning Finally from my memory a family the lived in one of the two story houses at the bottom of the street ie. 1 or  now live in no 12 formally Mrs. Babbs Thompson. I hope this misc. load of information, again from my memory only, can trigger off some more. Until I got a post from James Mulvey yesterday I would not have thought of 10% of this. I returned to Innisfallen in 1974 and lived there until 2002. A lot had changed at that time, but a lot was still there. Regarding Gibney's shop, every corner had a shop most of them "Off Licences" as we know them to-day.
