Hi Siobhan

I have just noticed this posting and although I cannot help with your enquiry I was wondering if you knew anything about Denzille Street? My grandmother was born at 23 Denzille Street Dublin 1877. Do you have a description of the street?

Hi Margaret,

I visited Dublin two weeks ago and registered with the Library nearest to Denzille Lane ..They supplied me with the 1911 census details for Denzille Street...
From Form B for the Street I discovered that my family lived at Number one and it was described as  a Shop and private dwelling  Brick Walled, Tiled Roof,10 windows at the front of the house, between 5 and 8 rooms..and that there were 3 distinct families in this house..

I have a photocopy of form B  ..but it only details as far as Number 7....however they all seemed to be of similar size.

Denzille Street was in the Parliamentary Div of St Stephens Green, Poor law Union : South Dublin
District Electoral Div.. Trinity Ward
and there were only 25 houses/numbers in the Street.

I went to try and find it, but only found Denzille Lane... all newer houses...I did take a photo of the Road Name  and the local pub...which looked like it could have been there some years!!

If you would like me to pm them to you ..I can

Thanks Siobhan

I would love to see what the area was like thanks for the offer. Is it possible to request a photocopy of precise addresses from the library or do you have to go in person for them?

I think you have to go there in person.

Thanks Siobhan

That's what I thought. Maybe I could persuade my husband to go for a short holiday sometime and surprise him with a visit to a library.

you would love it... Is Dublin far from where you live???

[aggiebagwash]

In England

I have never been to Ireland but I think I would enjoy it. I am one of those people who have to plan everything precisely so as to maximize time. I will have to see if I can find a cheapo flight and hotel (only so I can spend more time searching). Ha Ha.

Oops! I will have to find where all the repositories are first so that I can get round everywhere. I am very restricted to dates I can travel that's the problem. However I am sure I can get round it somehow.


It may prove cheaper to pay someone to search for me but you hear such horrendous stories from people about paying out large sums of money for virtually no information. I will have to think this through.
