Thanks to many listers in this group I've been piecing together information about my WILLIAMS branch of the family tree. I just looked at the 1861 directory and see a Richard Williams, listed as Richard and Sons, public notaries, and stock brokers to the Bank of Ireland, 38 Dame Street. On my great grandfather's death certificate in 1895 he is listed as a 'transfer clerk'. Does anyone know what a transfer clerk is? I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the above noted business and whether he might be one of the 'sons'?? Would the address - 38 Dame Street likely be a business address? I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this one. Anthony thanks to you and others who've made it possible for this directory to be available online!! Cheers, Judy in Alberta

For people wanting to explore this matter further, Jeff Kildea is a lawyer and war historian. His research was backed by a grant from the Australian Department of Defence. A preliminary article (with sources), appeared in the Australian War Memorial Journal.

Hi All, Thanks for the replies on the Sandymount addresses. When I said I understood Sandymount to be in Donnybrook, it was meant in very loose terms. In fact, there is little that I understand about how townlands, placenames, parishes, and PLU's work (don't even know what a PLU is!!). Just when I think I'm learning the difference between a townland and a placename, I make a mistake ordering a film, or I put my foot in my mouth! Cheers, Judy in Alberta

I have been searching for Michael Callaghan in Dublin. He had a daughter there in 1866. His occupation on the birth certificate was listed as Police Constable. That agrees with family lore that says he was a policeman. Now to the directory. There is one Michael Callaghan in the directory. http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlarchive/dublin/directory/dubdir/byr-cal.jpg His occupation is listed as sol. 7 Gardiner and Cork. Does sol. stand for soldier or solicitor? Thanks for thoughts on this. Christina

People with Irish /Australian links might be interested in this book being launched today by the Irish Ambassador to Australia . Anzacs and Ireland by Jeff Kildea , 9780868408774, UNSW Press, August 2007, 304pp, Availability: Plenty Price: AUD$39.95 (AUD$36.31 ex-tax) quote from the UNSW page: The people of Australia and Ireland have much in common based on genealogy and a shared heritage. The connections forged between Anzacs and the Irish in World War I have been little known until now. Jeff Kildea tells the story of Australian and Irish soldiers who fought alongside each other at Gallipoli, in France and Belgium and in Palestine. But it was in Ireland itself that Australian soldiers forged their relationships with the Irish people, as tourists, as countrymen returning home and in some cases becoming involved in the Easter Rising of 1916.
