In the record for Patrick O'Connell & Doreen Dunne, can anyone make out the address of the bride and the occupation of the groom?

I tried to click on this record, but without success. 
Is this something to do with the recent change of format on boards?

I searched for Doreen Dunne in Rathdown and it comes up for me

Yes , I se it now, it definitely looks like Rock Hill Castle, but I do not remember any such address, and it is not on the 25 inch map of early 1900s.
However, there used to be a lot of quaint houses, some castellated, on Rock Hill, before the redevelopment since 1980. It is possible that one might have been named Rock Hill Castle, or known locally as such.

Ah yes - you are right about the groom being a journalist. That's just jogged my memory. Still unsure about the address.

I also thought it said Rock something Castle. But I can't find any castles in Blackrock at all.

I wonder does 'castle' refer to Williamstown Castle, now Willow Park / junior school for Blackrock College. Her father also is a NS teacher - coincidence?

Blackrock College did indeed include Williamstown Castle, but the French College, as it is sometimes called, would not have had the slightest connection with a national teacher, they described their teachers as professors, and would have looked down on a mere national teacher.
Even if Henry did work and live in Blackrock College, since he was dead, his daughter would have been obliged to move out.

Rock Hill is the bit of road from the traffic lights at Jack O'Rourke's pub up to the intersection with the Rock Road. You sure there were crenellated houses where the shopping centre now stands? I agree with you - the adress means nothing to me also. Even the other side of the village (Temple Hill) had no castle/suitable houses. The nearest castle on that side is in Monkstown, which is too far away.

Blackrock College did cross my mind but considering her father was a national school teacher I doubt that this is the case. I also wondered if Doreen had become a teacher herself.

I wonder if .....
The house at the Rock Road/Hill junction is called Lios an uisce, lios in Irish meaning a fort. It's rather a grand house, perhaps she was a boarder there?

Could be! It looks like a fab house. I'll keep digging!

nikonuser

Would it be "trustee" & if it is, why would it be there? J

Catherine is the ..... of ... twelfth child. ??

P. Breathnach

I think it is a correction, and messed up a little - that the intention was to write "Catherine is the forename of the child's mother" (rather than "mother's child"). Note the name in the main entry gives her name as "Cathleen".

Would someone mind checking the place of birth of Edmund Delahunty in this image (third one down)?
It looks like Claran but I can't be sure.

spurious

I would agree with Claran.

BigCon

There is a Cloran closeby to Fethard...

That is almost certain, but there is also Cloneen, just north of it on the R692, just in case.

BigCon

Any latin readers here, what's the gist of this document?

pedroeibar1

It looks like a papal blessing of Pope Leo XIII being delivered via the Bishop McRdmond and being passed on/recorded by A J Molony, a curate, on behalf of the PP of Couriganeen and Clonakelly. Have you a marriage at that time?

BigCon

I had a marriage before this. This is a page on its own, I was just curious as to what it was. Cheers.

edit: here's the page in question http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634666#page/23/mode/1up

Agree it looks like a papal blessing, but the parish is Clonakenny.:D

Would appreciate help with the sponsors in the Thomas Nolan entry here:



Since father is Thomas Nolan, I guess the first sponsor is Edward Nolan? Any ideas for the name below that and the placename (from Ferns, Wexford?)

spurious

Kate Tuite, Edward Whelan?

**edit. Is it the Eliza entry you're looking at?

Placename Clologue
