Entry from the 1939/40 electoral roll John Donegan ...where to go now?

For the Google search:

1) use Google.ie - and not .com or .co.uk!

2) use quotation marks around the address - so "27 Kincora Road".

Not sure what Hannah tried but I did 1) use google.ie and 2) quotation marks. Tried again and still not seeing anything remotely interesting except this RC topic 

Hannah- go to the post where I posted all those links to your other topics and click report to moderator to ask for help in sorting it out. Not sure at this point if all topics should/could be merged logically but the moderator might deceide to lock some of them with a message saying see 1 particular post.

Will do that now - thank you!

I believe what Hallmark probably found on the Google search about a 'scientist' was a reference to Erwin Schrödinger  the Austrian physicist, but he lived at no 26 Kincora Road around the same time.

Hannah - I read your earlier threads and though slow going (!) you have made huge progress.
I can't really add anything since we have no idea of you grandfathers dob and I can't see any marriage to Eva either.

If any use to you, the week after next I will have a bit of time off and one of the things on my agenda is a day at Pearse St Library where they hold the rest of the digitised Electoral Registers - from 1939/40 to 1959/60. I will have a look for Eva, see where she goes and see if any of her children pop up. Also before 1939 you are back to paper searches but can have a check for the relevant addresses and see if we can find some sort of lead. Certainly I can see from newspapers that by 1946 a Mr V F Ross is living at no 27 Kincora so Eva has gone somewhere else.

I found Mr V F Ross there too so it looks like names changed  around then..

I had a lovely dinner one evening in the Gresham in the 1980s  Know that it wasn't always at that location but not sire when it came there.

Also possible, I suppose that there was a resident hair salon in the hotel itself.

Good morning

Hasta - your offer to have a look for leads for me is very kind indeed. If while you are there you wouldn't mind having a look for where the registers lead us after 1939 that would be very helpful. Without a marriage to Eva I'm wondering if it is his wife at all. Maybe his sister, or maybe just another women he had taken up with in sin (!)

The 1946 appearance of Mr Ross at 27 Kincora Road would tie in with the birth of my mothers oldest sister in the June of that year. The address given on her birth certificate is 153 strand Road, Sandymount but of course my grandfather assumes a false name (John Kearns) for the purposes of the certificate.

Thank you for looking into the Upper O'Connell Street address. Your comments about the Gresham led me to this attached advert from the Sunday Independent in October 1933. It appears that the salon was next to the Gresham Hotel (I suppose a good location to serve hotel guests as you say aghadowey).

I'm starting to feel like I am making progress again - many thanks!
