    Just been searching the 1901 Census here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Wexford_Urban_No__2/Bah_Street/1807496/ and a listing for Bah Street!! Obviously it is an error in transcription but what should it be? Bath Street? :confused:

    Duh! It should have been Batt Street but I can't find delete button to get rid of thread. Mods please!!

    I'm not sure if you got your question answered here already, but Batt Street is located in the Maudlintown district of Wexford town, near the Faythe area.

    Back Street links Rowe Street with John's Gate Street/ Cornmarket. Back Street was changed to Mallin Street - named for the dead patriot - in the 1920s/30s and it is this name that on the street sign today.

    Hope that helps!
