Hi There

I am attaching a google maps that will bring you to Auburn Avenue which is off Rathgar Road.

Wallingford's 'neighbours' are Auburn Villas which is part of this Auburn Avenue.

Anyway, there are not many houses on the little avenue.

If you use the google maps you can 'walk' along this little avenue.

As Dathai has indicated ~ the Rathmines Post Office should be able to tell you if the house name Wallingford is still attached / used in relation to one of these houses.

Now the only thing that worries me that one side has a few second world war type houses ~ possible there were older houses there at some point that were pulled down, hopefully not. It may have just been land that was built on in the 1930's or 1940's.

Anyway, you're getting close.

Hopefully the post office will be able to help !

Tara

GV show a John Gaveston ~ 68 Rathgar Road ~ not sure that it would be an actual house number though ~ moreso the 68th house evaluated.

This version lists him at Bellville Avenue, again just off Rathgar Road.

Do you think this is the same person ?

Hi Tara

Thank you for the info.

From what I can determine Wallingford was rented by my ancestor John Wynn McGaveston. He died after returning from India where he worked as a surgeon. He was sponsored by Charles William-Wynn to be a surgeon and John McGaveston named one of his children Charles Wynn McGaveston. John died in 1846 and his wife sailed to India to sort out his estate. After returning to Ireland Margaret McGaveston (nee Page) then sailed to New Zealand in 1850 with Robert John Lloyd traveling as his wife but they did not get married until they landed in New Zealand.

We dont know how John and his family knew Charles Williams-Wynne. Our family stories are interesting but we need some facts before we can ground them.

What year is the GV?

http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/dublin/rathfarnham.htm

Johns brother Nicholas McGaveston appears to have been living in Rathgar at one point and later Nicholas wife.
McGaveston - Dublin-Ireland, France, New Zealand
White - Shalden, Alton, Chawton-Hampshire
O'Donnell - New Zealand, Co Down-Northern Ireland, USA
Franklin/Fraenkel - New Zealand, Prussia
Day - Echuca, Tongala, London, Fairford-Gloucestershire
Clark/McGraw - New Zealand, Ireland, England
McMahon -Ipswich-QLD, Kiladysart-Co Clare
Smith - Ipswich, Pine Mountain, Redbank-QLD, Co Westmeath, Co Cavan-Ireland
McGuire - Redbank - QLD, Co Westmeath-Ireland
Culhane - Queensland, Ardlaghan - Co Limerick

The GV on the Rathgar Road was done in 1849.

An article from 1846 !

I am presuming when the article says 'apply to Wallingford' that the homes description applies to is for Wallingford.
