Street name experts?

dubtom

Actually also handwriting experts view wanted.I'm trying to decipher this street from an old marriage cert,I originally thought it might be something abbey,looking closer it kinda looks like alley,but an address at 66 something alley street doesn't sound right. I don't know old street names in Dublin but I know quite a few posters here do,so any help appreciated. Also csi handwriting experts might throw their eye on it. I'm 99% sure it's a dublin address,because there is no mention of another county on the cert.

PS,ignore the part over the black line on right.

66 Mid Abbey St , as in middle abbey street.
Thats my thinking anyway, I'm something of an amateur handwriting expert based on how bad mine and rest of my families is.
Good luck!

You know what I think your both right,I was looking at the mid as a four letter word. Cheers, amazing what another pair of eyes see's.

Now to try and find mid abbey street................................;)

If you have a particular year and would like to find out what businesses were in the building at that time, an email to the Dublin City Collection in Pearse street library might get some more information.

Me too - hours upon hours spent looking at doctors' hand writing!

Looks like Rick Astley Street to me, I thought it was initially a joke as in being rick-rolled !
