Hi Flo, I would think that the best place to start would be the www.tiara.ie site, it lists all available links to anywhere in Irish research.

Looking for any family of O'Neills who lived in Vavasour Square Dublin early 1900's. A Joseph O'Neill of 54 Queen Street who married an Annie Lennon November 1875 ?? where ?? whose address we believe was Blackrock lived at no 4 in 1905-1910. In 1909 my grandparents and family appear next door at no.3. 1910 Mrs Annie O'Neill is at no.4 - We think Joseph died August 1908. 1911 no 3 is vacant my grandparents came to England. By 1915 there were no O'Neills in Vavasour Square. Mrs Annie O'Neill had moved to Bath Avenue and later to Tritonville Avenue. Trying to establish whether these two families are related. Any ideas please? Thanks. Shelagh UK No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.485 / Virus Database: 269.13.3/986 - Release Date: 03/09/07 09:31

Hi Flo & Bill This is one of my favourites. http://www.archercousins.com/emerald_isle.htm Also there is a wealth of wonderful information on rootsweb. I would also recommend the Jean McCarthy site for Belfast area and Ros Davies for county Down. Lots of wonderful stuff can be found by just doing google searches.

Thanks Judy...Never tried that page. Looks like I have lots to look up just on my own genealogy. Wouldn't that be great if I found something new after all these years of frustration.

Thank you, Anthony, for responding concerning the C of I on College Green. I hope I have good luck finding what I am looking for. In visiting Dublin, I would like to visit the barracks location where my great great grandfather served in the Royal Artillery. Old letters I have mention the area as Island Bridge but checking out the map, there are several old barracks in that area. Does anyone have an idea where the Royal Artillery would have been headquartered in the 1820's.

I am still having difficulty in trying to trace my 5th G. Grandmother, all the records for that time have been destroyed, and the only way that I can think of to trace her is to find her tombstone inscription. I only have her married surname which is HENSHALL, she must have died sometime between the birth of her daughter which was in 1760 and 1774, when her husband remarried. Now what I want to know is, would there have been that many cemeteries in Dublin at that time. I do know that her husband James HENSHALL, was a prominent member of the Anglican church, and was a Linen merchant, living in Linenhall St at one time and also in the Finglas area. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I know that I am lucky to have got back so far with my tree, but would love to know the name of this 5th G. Grandmother. Kind regards Rita Durban, South Africa.
