Hello List! I am returning to the list after being gone a while. My Great-Grandmother, MARGARET HYDE, was born in Cork City on Mar. 4, 1867. Her parents were MICHAEL J. HYDE, a cooper, and HANNORAH SHEEHAN. MARGARET HYDE was born at her parents home on 24 Fair Lane. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me where that address might have been, in relation to the city, and if it still exists. Is a map available of the city of Cork at that time? On the internet? Where could I purchase it? Thank you for your help, Sincerely, Denise _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Fair Lane at one time ran in about the same place and direction from Shandon Street as today's Fair Street (assuming the latter two still exist, 1984 OS Map). Fair Lane can be seen on the map extracted from Guy's 1866 Directory at Margaret Grogan's site http://www.sci.net.au/userpages/mgrogan/cork/cork_map4.htm It's at the top left of the map just to the right of the City of Cork title. You can of course print this image off the net.
