I occurred to me later, Denis, that long before main routes between principal towns and cities were given numbers for identification, such roads would be simply referred to, for example, if one were in Cork, as the Limerick Road, even the part leading out of the city, so might your Draftee's father have given his address as : Limerick Road, Cork, but in transcription the word 'Road' was omitted. I don't know, if there was such a road being part of Cork city. **** Reply to LIST only, please. Thank you.
