19 Newmarket St Dublin's Liberties.
« on: Wednesday 14 August 24 16:48 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has a street map showing the address/location of No 19 Newmarket St in Dublin Liberties in approx 1907-1910.

In 1907 a lady called Nellie Bushell lived there and was friendly with Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney who wrote and composed the Irish National anthem.
I am basically looking to cross reference where the address was then, and it's approximate location today.
I do have several old photos showing the street with a mix of styles of house,  majority of them were Tenements during the era Nellie lived there.
Thank you.

Consulting the OSi National Townland and Historical Map Viewer, you have MapGenie 25 Inch - ITM [1897-1913] in Basemap Gallery. Type in Newmarket Street Dublin and select.

Here's Newmarket Street between Coombe and Newmarket. St Luke's Church about halfway down.

Newmarket Street today with The Coombe to the north.

Thank you very much, The reference map from 1913  gives a relatively reasonable location to where the house location would be today.
Thank you, much appreciated.

Due to your kind help, this would be the location of no 19 Newmarket St circa 1913, the home of Nellie Bushell who would listen to the work's composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney famous for Ireland's National anthem.
Heeney and Kearney would often walk in the Dublin Mountain's composing song's, when the weather was bad the duo would visit their friend Nellie Bushell for her opinion on their works, so its fair to assume that Nellie was the first woman to hear the duo's rendition of 'A soldiers song' which became the National anthem.
Sadly in 1911 Patrick Heeney passed away aged 29 in Jervis st hospital, he died in Poverty.
Peadar Kearney, died in 1942 aged 58.
Nellie Bushell, died in 1948.
