The Huguenots built Tailors Hall, the last remaining guild hall left in Ireland, built in the 1790s. It's now the home of An Taisce, the preservation society of Ireland, Back Lane, Dublin 8. Inside there's a scroll of Huguenot names. You could write to them for more info. Linen hall may have been a place of industry at one time but it is an area/street/place (residential ) for such a long time now that when mentioned to Dubliners, we don't actually think of Linen, just the place.

By 1841 only his wife was living there .He was a merchant in Mancester so looks like he was involved in the Linen industry. I have been reading with fascination about the Linen industry Can SKS tell me what would be the European version of Mathews as maybe I should also look for that version of his name. His children Samuel, 1806-1875 and Jehu became solicitors as did their children. Is there anyway I could find out more about the Huguenots coming into Ireland Many thanks Cheers Marilyn from Western Australia ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:01:28 +0000 From: colette o rorke <cmcororke@hotmail.com> Subject: [DUBLIN-CITY] 1922 MILITARY CENSUS RELEASE DATE To: Dublin City list <irl-dublin-city@rootsweb.com>, dublin tracing your roots <irl-dublin@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <DUB103-W7B594636795E7AFA6234BAC6D0@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Interesting news for those of us with relatives in the Irish Army in 1922 http://www.militaryarchives.ie/collections/document-of-the-month/november Colette ------------------------------ To contact the IRL-DUBLIN-CITY list administrator, send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-CITY-admin@rootsweb.com.
