Hoping someone can point me towards the correct history society covering this place. There are so many irish history societys and many cover overlapping areas so I am hoping that someone can help. I have an ancestor reputedly born in this street in 1817 with the very common surname 'McCarthy/McCartnie' so I am hoping that there is a group out there that I can contact to research this matter further. I am hoping that there may be land or tenant records for the area or (I can only hope) death records of other family members citing this address, perhaps a christening or marriage of the parents. The lass in question used the given name of Margaret and surname McCarthy and I have been able to verify through her death record a brother called Denis(sic). Realistically any information that can help prove (or disprove) her as being from the above address would be welcome.
