Mystery Man Edward Townsend Foley

[odysseyov]

Hi Majm - so E. T Foley was in Brown Street in 1894 but what connection did he have with 20 Exeter place in 1882 - and Edward Foley who was fined L3 plus costs for keeping filthy premises at around sometime around then?   (I lost the newspaper reference but it was smh).   
I too wonder about the relationship with E.T and Edward Foley???   The only other Foley of that era I found was someone in Qld.
I did have all the info about landlord/tenant but thanks for the extras about the building.
PS Have just put in a request to Ask a librarian for where to obtain info on Electoral Rolls;  only mails could vote but there may be other rabbits to chase up burrows

Right, 

E Townsend FOLEY would likely be known as Townsend rather than Edward.   

In the 1880s, that Exeter Place section was a 'red light' district. 

I typed up the thingy in case the others were striving to     

Sands directories 1882 ... I will get onto that now

But first, I will check the 1870s electoral rolls,  I have one set here,  shhhh .... my husband is a treasure.

This might be the only connection  between Edward and a birth with congenital syphilis

NSW ER 1878 PADDINGTON
No listing for FENBY or similar
William FOLEY, leasehold, George St Waterloo.  No others by that surname

NSW ER 1878 EAST SYDNEY
FOLEY:
John, household, 49 Campbell St
Lawrence, household, Little Bloomfield St
Thomas S, 358 Elizabeth St

358 Elizabeth Street, that is likely to be down ‘that end’ of Elizabeth St.  (near where Central Railway Station is,  the park at the northern end of the country platforms is ‘Belmore Park’,  Elizabeth Street was the street on the eastern boundary of that park until the Electric trains encroached.   

So the  red light connection :  soliciting in Belmore Park,  touting etc and walk to Exeter Place ...

Keep in mind that there are two E Ts in Sydney at the same time:

Two births:

2029/1880 FOLEY GRACE MATILDA parents EDWARD T MARIE N SYDNEY

571/1886 FOLEY CECILIA M parents EDWARD T and MARIE N SYDNEY

I haven't found a suitable death for this second Edward Townsend.

And what about a birth?

And what about a birth?

No, nor the marriage for the couple, or birth of some of the children mentioned on that tree. I did find a son of the couple deceased in QLD, as per the tree.

This should give you Sands 1880 part 4   

each part is a multipage pdf, numbered within each pdf as page numbers.... 

and of course, Sands directories themselves had their own page number, so scroll through to the pdf page numbered 47 of 61.   It should bring you to the Sands page 418.

Look at all those with the surname FOLEY ... none as Edward nor as Townsend, but there's a Mrs Mary FOLEY out at Glebe...
