Local Knowledge of Dublin?
« on: Tuesday 01 October 13 17:44 BST (UK) »
I have a birth date of 1816 with a 'born in the Parish of St Mary's  Dublin' statement.  Does anyone with local knowledge know where St Mary's Parish Dublin would have been in 1816/today?
Thanks

There used to be a seventeenth century church called St. Mary's in a parish of that name on the corner of Mary Street and Jervis Street, Dublin.    It is possibly that.

Incidentally, the one I'm talking about is now a very nice pub/restaurant, called, imaginatively, The Church.   I don't know what other information you have, but this one was on the north side of the city and the Haddington Road one is on the south.

as far as I know, the Civil Parish of Saint Mary's was the area North of the Liffey, around the Church (C of I) on Mary St.

Wow, thank you all very much for the information.  It was on an Army Service Record which I have just discovered for my GGGrandfather Michael Boshell so a great step back for me; I have no prior knowledge of the Dublin area as the majority of my line came from the West of Ireland but will have great fun following up your leads.  Thanks again :)
