Liddy family on Voters List 1908-1915
« on: Tuesday 17 December 24 12:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi, 3 sibling members of the Liddy family were running shops in Dublin in 1908.
Mary J Liddy at 37 Amiens Street
C J (Charles) Liddy at 15 Great Denmark Street
James Liddy at 54A Lower Dorset Street
I know it is a very long time ago, but I was just wondering if any one can turn up any information/photos regarding these 3 shops in the time frame of 1908 to say 1918.
Without sounding cheeky/pushy, it is just information regarding them and their shops. For example, I know Mary went on to marry Sarsfield O'Shea and James was killed in WW1 but I would love some more info on the shops.
Thank you.
Paul.

Thoms Directory 1911 is the closest one to 1908 that I have here.

No.15 has Joseph Ed. Tuomey    chemist as occupier
