Henry Ross

[shellback]

Hi, I have recently posted re info on (Rev.) Henry Ross of Castle view ,Limerick . Unfortunately no one was able to help. However if someone could tell me where Castle view is in Limerick I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I can't find any posts of yours for Henry Ross- what time period did he live at 'Castle view'?

[shellback]

I think he lived at Castle view in the early to mid 1800s .His son the Rev. George Ross was born in Limerick around 1810 .Henry's wife was, I think ,named Steers .It is likely that i made a mess  of my post and it didn't get through to you ,which explains why you couldn't  trace it. Sorry for that.

Still looking for any details on the above .Advise or any help would be appreciated.

In Griffiths Valuation taken mid 1800s there is a George Ross in Rathkeale

If you could get access to trade directories for Limerick the clergy were always listed so that might help you identify a location.

If he lived in Limerick City, maybe Castle view was near to King John's Castle at Thomond Bridge. I had a quick look at the 1st edition OSI map (1820s-1840s) but didn't immediately see anything that could match, but there are a few churches etc in the area and also a modern street named Castle Lane nearby. It might be worth a further look - the link is :

  King John's Castle, Limerick City   (click the historic or historic bw option to see the older maps)

the same location on a modern google map : King John's Castle

There's a possible listing for George in the ecclesiastical listings for the Established Church in Thom's directory of 1848 :

  George Ross incumbent, parish of Killinick, Post town Wexford, Diocese of Ferns   

no sign of Henry, but there are 3 other Ross entries all under the Derry Diocese.

Killinick seems to be both a town and a civil/CofI parish and is just to the west of Rosslare town.

Thanks Shanew, That George was my GGGrandfather, it's his father Henry Ross or anyone else in his family that I am seeking . I have recently discovered that Henry did not live in Limerick City .His address was Castleview ,near Askeaton County Limerick . Anything on him or any details on Castleview  would be appreciated. Thank you .

I wonder if it could be the George in Rathkeale as I posted earlier? Rathkeale is not far from Askeaton.
However there is the ruin of a castle in the centre of Askeaton town so possibly there was a property called Castle View nearby
