Dear listers My grandfather, Herbert Frederick CRUWYS, was a tailor. He lived in Cork from about 1914 to 1939 when he returned to England with his family. He had a tailor's shop at 34 Princes Street, Cork. His four sons were all born at 1 Warburton Villas, The Lough, Cork. Does anyone know anything about these two properties? Are there any modern online maps which would show the location of these two addresses? (I've found Princes Street on the 1886 Guy's Directory map but can't seem to print the map out). My grandfather's family lived in London. How would he have travelled to Cork from London in about 1913? Would there be any records of his journey? I've also 'lost' various members of another branch of my CRUWYS family who were living in Swansea but can't be found in the 1881 and 1901 English censuses. I suspect they may all have moved to Cork to find work as I believe there were regular sailings from Swansea to Cork. Is there any way I can check the Cork 1901 census to see if there's any trace of this family (Thomas, William, Augustus, Isaac, James, John, Abraham and Jacob CRUWYS)? Any help would be much appreciated. Best wishes Debbie Kennett (nee CRUWYS) Wokingham Berkshire England

Hi Debbie Kennett. Never heard of Warburton Villas but that doesn't mean it was not there. 34 Princes Street is still very much there. It is now a Restaurant. You can get an actual picture of the area if you go to http://interactive2.iol.ie/maps/content/iolmap.asp This will give you a map of Ireland. In the left hand panel there are four fields. Ignore the first one. In the second one enter 34 Princes Street. Ignore the third. The fourth is a drop- down menu from which you select Cork, then click on Get Map and you will get a map of the area. Click Zoom In and you will have an aerial picture. You can Zoom In some more but the picture gets fuzzy. These aerial views are available for the larger cities and towns. In less populated areas all you get is a map.
