Morning everyone,

Beginning my research for two brothers Great grand uncles Christopher and Charles Kavanagh who according to family lore were flour Millers at Alexander Warf, Dublin. Both were born mid 30’s in Wexford and following family eviction moved to Dublin late 40s. That’s sum total of the information I have on these.

Wondering if there are Kavanagh Millers mentioned in Thoms?
Kind Regards

No Kavanagh (or Cavanagh) millers in 1848, also no mention of Alexandra Wharf..

1863 - no mention of Alexandra Wharf..there's a few Kavanagh is possibily related trades :

 Edward Kavanagh, corn & flourstores, 14 Mary's Abbey
 Jas. Kavanagh, corn broker, 3 Burgh quay, 22 Robert st (stores), res. 33 Harolds Cross
 Michl. Kavanagh, corn factor & malt roaster, 3 Pim st
 Mrs. Kavanagh, corn factor & malt roaster,4 Pim st, grand canal

I dont see any sign of Alexandra Basin (which I presume the address you mention was close to and named after) on the 1880s map... so maybe it is dates after this that the address relates to ?

Thanks Shane for that,

I have left these pair on the back burner for years as I had next to nothing to go on. Their Brothers James my great grand father and Thomas lived in Burton Hall during the 1860/70s. So I am hoping this might look familiar to some viewers (fingers crossed)

do you believe the owned a mill business, or could they have been employed in one ?

I had a look through later directories and there are quite a few mills listed in the area - but nothing that I see named Kavanagh.

Hi Shane,

Unfortunately I cannot confirm whether they owned or just worked as millers, had a quick glimpse through the 1911 census and found a Charles born Co Wexford aged 78 which is close age wise.

Number 29 in Goatstown Town (Dundrum, Dublin)

Charles Kavanagh    78    Born Wexford
Ellen Kavanagh    72   Born Wexford
Johanna Kavanagh    26

2 of 8 children living.

Regards John

That certainly looks interesting, and a possible fit..unfortunately that Charles and Ellen married c1861, so just before civil registration started.

The location on the 1911 return is just down the road from the location of the Goat Pub... which has been there for many years..

Shane.... what are the respective parishes for the following areas.

Alexander Warf

Goatstown Town

I will browse ‘Irishgenealogy’ to see if anything there?

Cheers

I have not seen a street listing yet which mentions Alexandra Wharf, but I suspect  would be commercial / dockside rather than residential, but will have a look for for the parish.. probably the same as for Sheriff st.

Goatstown is right at the junction of several RC parishes - but probably Dundrum, or Taney. Less likely parishes would be Sandyford or Monkstown.
