Hi! Does anyone know where I might find a book covering the history of the area around Fishamble Street in Dublin @1840s-1900? My relatives (O'Dea/O'Day/O'Dee) were basketmakers in that part of Dublin. They apparently also ran a basketmaking "factory" on Werburgh Street which employed many blind artisans. I've found a William O'Day in Thom's Directory for 1873 and 1877 living at 7 Fishamble Street. Would love to compare notes with other O'Day/O'Dea (Day/Dea) researchers! Many thanks!

That area in Fishamble Street is where the first performance of The Messiah by Handel was performed. It it well known for that event, otherwise I dont have any other information about that time. late 1800s.
