Hi Guys,

My great-great-grandfather, Edward Benjamin Lynch, a druggist, was resident at Kateville, Irishtown, Donnybrook in 1851. Can anyone advise me how I can further research this? I'm a bit of a novice.

Thanks,

Alan Lynch

A possible listing appears in Thom's 1852 for Edward as follows...

  Irishtown Rd
   Mr. E.B. Lynch

It appears to be a residence, and no trade or occupation is listed for him, and there's no listing for him in the Apothecary or Chemists and Druggists trade listings.

I cant see any listing for Edward in 1850 - in either the street listing or index of gentry & traders. The directory dates relate to the year they are published, so they can be a little out of date by then. e.g. some of the details in the 1850 edition, could could have been researched in 1849 or even earlier.

Thank you very much for going to the trouble, Shane.

From what I understand, the term 'druggist' might refer to a homeopath i.e. not a qualified chemist.

Thanks again,

Alan

Hi, Can anyone help me find an ancestor of mine Lancelot Weir. He was born Sligo 1852 and died at the young age of 28 in Dublin.
Family letters and the like say he was a Doctor in Dublin.
Do you have the resources to look him up?
Jacqui

no sign of him 1879 - just one Wier included in the list of Registered Medical practitioners in that year :

  Marshall Weir, M.R.C.S.E., Dromore, Co. Down

No sign of him in the general alphabetical index either.

Had Lancelot finished all his medical studies when he died ?

His death cert should confirm his occupation.

[shanew147]

there's two Wier medical practitioners listed in 1877, the same Marshall Wier, and a Thomas S. Wier, L.R.C.S.I, L.K.Q.C.P.I, Enniskillen

As well a the death reference in the BMD Index, I also see a possible marriage for Lancelot in Dublin in 1873.
