Hi April Are you just trying to pinpoint a particular individual family if so maybe a postal directory would be of help. Here is a link to the Donnybrook section of Guys Cork City & County Postal Directory for 1907 http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/streetandtradedirectories/1907guyscitycountyalmanacanddirectory/1907pages316to397/ There are a number of postal & trade directories covering Cork in existence from 1787 onwards. Some of them are online. If you get into London both the Guildhall library and the Irish Genealogical Research Society libraries hold collections of Irish trade and postal collections. Their websites are at http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Leisure_and_culture/Libraries/City_of_London_libraries/guildhall_lib.htm and http://www.igrsoc.org/ Jill Williams
Dear Jill Thank you for that - but no luck with my search in Donnybrook. Do you have any knowledge about The Irish Exposition of 1907 and in particular the English Pavilion/ Village or whatever? I have some very old photographs, I believe taken there and I am trying to identify the location and some of the apparently notable people in them. The Canadian Pavilion is the only one I have seen illustrated so far - on a postcard. Or can you guide me as to where I should be looking?
