St Joseph Mansions Dublin

[gerrygannon]

Hey,I know this is an old thread,but would anyone know if st Joseph's mansions is the same as st marys mansions in dublin

[Sinann]

St Joseph's Mansions was Killarney Street hence the new name of Killarney Court
St Mary's Mansions is on Sean McDermott Street
One street runs into the other but the two Mansions are on opposite (not directly) sides of the road.

Hey Sinann,the mystery is that in 1944,my uncle got married and he put his address as 24J st Mary's mansions.
Then his sister (my mother)got married in 1946 and put her address as 24J st Joseph's mansions.
Could there be a reason for this back then.
Thanks for looking

They won’t have written the address themselves, I’d say in one case the person who did, probably the priest, though he knew where they lived and only asked for the number and followed with the wrong mansion.
Records are littered with errors, either copying errors, mis heard errors or informants having incorrect information.
Only last week I found a birth cert where the parents surnames are mixed up.

Thank you very much for clearing that up Sinann.
Very decent of you

Hey Sinann, slightly off topic, would you have any idea where or if there are national school records for children of familys who lived in chapel st Dublin between 1871 and 1879.
Thanks for reading,rgds, Gerry
