St Clares Park Sandymount Dublin

[shanew147]

I dont have any Thoms to the early 1920s... closest dates I have are 1914 and 1927, which I am comparing (along with the census and the '39 electoral register) at the moment to see if I can track the changes and new roads in the area by monitoring addresses and household names..

Quaxer checked Thoms 1923 and 1929 for you in an earlier post (see Reply #1) and saw no mention of St. Clare's. Maybe with these possible Seafort/Beach Rd connections it might be worth another look if he spots this post ..

O'Briens Place was off Haddington Rd should be induced on my 1912 map, which is online, but the street is not labeled.... I think I described the location before in a post for someone, I'll have a search for it.

Shane's reference caught my eye. I looked at Thoms 1923, 1928,1929, 1934 & 1942 and cannot find any reference to this Park.I have seen instances where a place had 2 changes of name within one year
The only immediate suggestion I can make is for you to examine the minutes of Pembroke U.D.C. which are retained by Dublin Corporation.

Thanks for your help with this. No 'Seafort Gardens' etc either?

Thanks for this tip but it may take another weekend break in Dublin! Have to save some Euros!

Seafort Avenue , Terrace and Villas are mentioned in  those Thoms I mentioned today but no Gardens.

With the help I've received on this forum it now feels I'm getting a little closer to finding out where my father was born plus I now have some more material for research.

'morning Nick,

were you able to establish anything about the date of that Killeen postcard ?

anything that might narrow down the dates that St. Clare's Park existed at an address should help the search..

Morning Shane

No still nothing on the date on the postcard.

But of course on my Father's birth certificate it does give the date 1924 so maybe the card was sent during this period?

I'll send another reminder but it's to someone that isn't really that interested in the Killeen side of the family. There's also been a recent death in their family so it's a little difficult at the moment.

Regards

I've been comparing the details on a spreadsheet, and I've spotted something that I'm following up at the moment

On the Voters register the number of houses on Seafort Gardens is much greater than on 1927 edition of Thoms, and appears to have additional houses - no. 1-34 and 39-42. The houses listed in '27 are still there (nos 25 to 38) and show some overlap in the names, which confirms that they are the same addresses and not renumbered.

I cannot see any sign of Seafort Ave. West (which Seafort Grds was shown as part of in '27) on the voters register and wonder if maybe entire road was renamed to Seafort Gardens for a time... but so far I cannot see any sign of names carrying forward

Interesting that the road/area could have changed names between various records etc. The numbering systems for houses on these streets can certainly seem odd at times.

I've also put in a couple of requests in two local Sandymount news papers for any recollections of a St Clares Park.

Kind regards

Nick
