Carol, No, there is no postal code to anywhere in the Republic of Ireland. Be as specific as you can, using a street address, if you even have one, townland, civil parish, county and, if you're mailing from the US, for goodness' sake, spell out IRELAND because apparently our postal workers don't understand EIRE, as I found out. Example: Name Clonola, Kildysart, County Clare, Ireland Good luck! Jeanne ===== Genealogy = disturbing the dead and irritating the living. Looking to disturb surnames FOLEY, DAVEY, COGERAN.

What I need are some good tips on what area to stay in while there. I know things have changed in the past 27 years and I don't want to rely on web pages for rooms. I don't mind driving into the city but I would like the drive to be in the 30 to 45 min. range. All recommendations will be welcome. TIA, Frank in Ca --------------8DEA017E7BAF2A33C0E3AFAD--

Hi Carol, There are no Zip Codes used in the Republic of Ireland. In Dublin City they have Postal Zones but these are not to be confused with Zip Codes. Starting at Dublin City Centre the Postal Zones go from 1 to about 24. The odd numbers are North of the River Liffey and the even ones are South. One Postal Zone can cover thousands of addresses. In the remainder of the Republic all the major cities and towns will as a rule use House Numbers and Street Names. In Rural areas they tend to use only the name of the village and/or Townland but in such cases the postman will know everyone in any event. In all cases it is essential to also include the name of the County. Regards, Brendan. o----- Original Message ----- From: Carol Truesdell To: SHAMROCK-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 12:37 AM Subject: [SH] Postal Code Hi, Is anyone able to tell me if there is a web site for Irish postal codes (zip codes) for mailing?

Hello, Having not visited the LDS familysearch site for a while - I thought I would give it another go - and 2 entries turned up that hadn't been there earlier - relating to a SHUDALL ancestor's events in the early 19th.century for the Diocese of Ossory - when I examine the IGI online individual records there are no sources of information - no film, page or reference number are supplied?

Hi, Is anyone able to tell me if there is a web site for Irish postal codes (zip codes) for mailing? Thanks, Carol truesdel@hawk.igs.net

Just successfully read the 1910 census for my g.mother and it states birth Ire-England in each column for her,next for her father,next for her mother. >From this I am assuming that the family went to England. It states in the next col yr of 1887,for arriving. In the 1920 census it states she arrived in NY 1890, May 14th,which we found on the ships manifest., Even tho her husband was dead since 1904 it states by the children's father the same info. Haven't been able to find a marriage certificate for her and her husband, now I am wondering if maybe they got married in 1887 in England. I did a search in Liverpool for a marriage and they found nothing for a 10 yr period. Open to all suggestions as to where to go from here. Thanks Ed

Only Dublin has ZIP codes. Rural Ireland does not even have street names and numbers. They don't even put their name on the mailbox. This is my reason for suggesting that you write to the Post Office in the parish to try to find living relatives.

On the 1881 census their dwelling place was 79 Lower East Street, Middlesbrough, Francis was 47, occupation Ship Caulker (Builder), I think he lost an eye in an accident, I don’t know whether it was on the ships and he got compensation, Honora Gillespie was 40, siblings (daughters and sons) Mary A Gillespie 16 (registered birth Sunderland) occupation General Servant, William Gillespie 15 (registered birth Sunderland), Scholar (school child), Francis (grandfather) was 8 (registered birth Hartlepool), Eleanor Gillespie was 6 (registered birth Sunderland), Joseph Gillespie was 4 (registered birth Sunderland), Michael Gillespie was 2 (registered birth Middlesbrough), a Margaret and James Gillespie was 5 months (registered birth Middlesbrough) married somebody called Nellie.

The remains were brought to this city and were taken to the home of his brother, Patrick Rogers, to await interment. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon. Services were conducted at St. Thomas church, Father McNerney officiating. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The local members of the G.A.R. attended. The pall bearers were members of Henry Dillon Post. They were J.K. and J.L. Martin, J.J. Kane, Myles McNally, David Starr and D.L. Randall. Mr. Rogers was born in the county of Clare, Ireland, in 1842. He died in his 76th year. He was married in 1866 to Ann McManus of Henry, Illinois. Mr and Mrs. Rogers moved to Fort Dodge in 1867. Mr .Rogers helped to build the Illinois Central railroad west from that place to Sioux City. They were among the early settlers of West Bend township. Mrs. Rogers died quite a number of years ago. Some time later Mr Rogers sold his interests in this county and being rather advanced in age, entered the Iowa Soldiers' Home at Marshalltown. He frequently visited his brother Patrick of this city and he enjoyed meeting his old friends in this locality. He is survived by his sons James of Adams, Minnesota, Ted of Wilton, North Dakota, as well as by his brother of that place to whom he was very much attached. When the Civil War broke out he joined the 184th Illinois Cavalry and later he was a member of the 52nd Iowa Infantry. He was a loyal and plucky soldier and he served his country with the fervor and the determination of a most devoted citizen. He was a man of good habits and was ardent and sincere in his friendships. He was genial and obliging and those who knew him were always glad to speak highly of his motives and conduct as a citizen. His Palo Alto friends will learn with profound sorrow of his death. The Democrat extends sympathy to the sons and to the aged brother. Other info: Brother Patrick: 1895 State Census-City of Emmetsburg, Iowa 168 6 38 38 Rogers Patrick 50 M M Ireland.

Anyone reading the 1910 census for Brooklyn ,NY would you be kind enough to check out something for me. Page 216B, Ed 52, line 73, 106 Hicks St. It read:CONROY,MARY, HEAD,F, W 49, Wd. 4 CHILDREN, THEN I THINK IT SAYS -IRE,ENGLAND IN THE 3 BOXES THEN 1887. We just want to verify that it says Ire & Eng in each box and the year of 1887. The print is too small on my copy, having trouble reading it. This could lead me to where she married.

Cathy Joynt Labath The Irish in Iowa http://www.rootsweb.com/~iarecrds/ Scott Co., Iowa USGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~iascott/scott.htm Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, September 19, 1896 KILLIAN A PIONEER GONE Mrs. Mary Irwin Killian Passes Away Last Night Born in Roscommon, Ireland, in 1807, She Attained the Age of Eighty-Nine Years-A Resident of Davenport Since 1842-A Beautiful Life-The Funeral Last evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.T. O'Meara, 212 west Sixth street, occurred the death of Mrs. Mary Irwin Killian of senility, in the eighty-ninth year of her age. Her demise is a shock to her host of friends in this city where she has lived for the past forty-two years. The advent of death was sudden although anticipated. The deceased, although a hearty and robust old lady, had for the past several weeks showed evidence of a rapid decline. She went recently to retire at an unusually early hour, complaining of feeling tired. Shortly after, eating supper last night the old lady retired to her room. Nothing caused alarm to her daughter over her early retiring since it had become a usual thing for Mrs. Killian to go to bed immediately after supper. Along about 8 o'clock one of the children said that she thought grandma was calling. Her daughter, Mrs. O'Meara, went into the hall to the foot of the stairs and heard a moan. Hurrying up the stairs she found her mother in a state of collapse. She lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away in about twenty minutes. A physician was summoned immediately and found on arriving that nothing could be done. He announced that her death was caused by senility and the rapid breaking down of the tissue attendant upon such great age. Mary Irwin Killian, relict of the late Daniel Killian, who passed away eleven years ago, was born in Roscommon county, Ireland on August 15, 1807. As a girl she was acquainted with the great minds then prominent in Irish affairs, and as an old lady was wont to tell of the early days of the century, its great men, the struggles of her race for national freedom and of the great days which followed the defeats of the last century. She was married to Daniel Killian in Ireland several years before starting for America. On her first arrival in the United States she settled at Providence, R.I., where she remained for three years. In 1842 she came to Davenport, where she has since resided. Since the death of her husband in 1885 she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J.T. O'Meara, at 212 west Sixth street, where she died. The deceased was the mother of five children, three of whom survive her-Mrs. William F Orendorff of Gilbert, Mrs. T.M. Flannigan of Williamsburg, Ia., and Mrs. J.T. O'Meara of this city. A score of grandchildren also survive. The funeral will probably be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J.T. O'Meara, 212 west Sixth street, with funeral services at St. Anthony's church and interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Death record-(surname spelled differently) No. 8551-Recorded October 2, 1896 Killion, Mary, age 89y,1m,3d female, white, widow Died: September 18, 1896, 8:30 p.m. at 212 west Sixth st, Davenport, Iowa Cause of death: Heart disease Born: Ireland.
