I phoned them up one day and got a very nice helpful girl on the line. But that was a number of years ago, she may not be there now. But I think it is worth a try. Maybe you could find out who the parish priest is. I am guessing that the Archbishop's office could tell you that on the phone. If you could get his name and address you could drop him a letter.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Hi CC

The best of  luck with that. By the way would you know where if at all possible, could I get my hands on a detailed map of Dolphins Barn Lane. Any Dolphinsbarners reading this will remember it as the Hollow. When I was a small child there were lots of houses and little streets there. The remainder of it that went to Herberton bridge was set out in allotments. All the local men had plots there, including my dad. But about 1950 or 51 Dublin Corporation purchased the houses and knocked them all down. In their place they built flats. My grandmother lived with her aunt in Dolphins Barn Street, but her father lived with his second wife and family in 22 Dolphins Barn Lane. I would like to see where number 22 was located.  Any ideas would be welcome.

thanks
