Thank you Margaret..........I will check that out. My Pooles seemed to move around a lot. Every few years they are found living in a different Parish. For some time many of them lived in the area of Mountjoy ward, Gardner Street and Blaquiere Bridge Road, St. Georges As my great grandfather was born just a year after his brother who was baptised St Andrews I requested a search but nothing was found. So off they went again to a new area I suppose...-)) What I need to do is spend a month or so in Dublin and start a major search myself. Wouldn't that be wonderful.......-)) Marg >From the Beautiful British Columbia Cariboo Region, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Doyle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Hi, RCs who lived in the vicinity of Marlborough street may have been baptised at St. Marys. Look at www.procathedral.ie for the history. They would have been classed as 'Townies ' when the City began to expand. Maggie
