    Can anyone suggest anything for the bride's address ?

    To put this in context it's a 1901 marriage in St. James, Dublin. The Bride is shown as a Servant, so her address might be a big house. I can see a messy Mount Brown, and it ends in terrace. For ref. I think the grooms address is 11 Redferne Terrace, Dolphin's Barn.

    Hi, in the 1911 census there's a St Johns Terrace, Mount Brown. DED: Ushers key

    I think I can kind of make out St Johns in the scrawl, would be close to the Grooms address so maybe a possibility? In the 1901 census there only seems to be St. Johns S.C Road under Ushers Key.

    I'm sorry I can't post a proper link:

    Possibly St. John's Terrace? It's just off Mount Brown. Sorry for long link.

    Well we can't both be wrong :) I came across a thread on rootschat, it seems some of that area is missing from the online 1901 census.

    I'd drawn a complete blank for this, and even better now two independent answers giving the same street - thank for these. I didn't spot the h ascender and the way he's linked lack to the o with an ink drop out Now that I know it all I can see St. Johns .

    I've extracted some other known sections of the cert I used for reference - an S from September, and a J from John for the groom (which I should have spotted!), both have similar curls top and bottom, so looking like a good match to me. Even allowing for the rubbish letters that would make it S.J...s, so I'm happy to go with St. John's

    thanks for the links. Re the 1901 census I know parts of the 1901 for Kilmainham are not online, so might also include the Mount Brown area. As far as I remember at least some of these are available in the NAI.
