hi all,can you help?
this was posted in another board:

An odd request...
I am probably posting this in the wrong forum but sure here goes. I have a friend in the states whos grandfather is from Cork. He wants to visit the area but doesnt know where in Cork it is. All he has is a picture and i was wondering would anyone recognise the area?
I have attached the image. Hope someone can help!
xxxxx

one person said they really think it's Moyderwell Street in Tralee but he no longer lives in tralee so can't go back and have a second look.the only pic on the net of Moyderwell Street is this

152477168_3813d1e63d.jpg?v=0

which looks like it could be it.
can anyone say for sure that it is/isn't the right street.
thanks a million

You mentioned loving old Tralee photographs,

There is a great book title
Images of Ireland
Tralee
1998

compiled by Michael Diggin. Michael as far as I know is from The Rock area
The book contains photographs of Old Tralee, with many familiar faces and places. You might find a copy of it at the Kerry County Library.
The local studies dept upstairs will surely have a copy.
Mick O'Neills books on interviews with the Ould Stock of Tralee are priceless jems of old Tralee.

regarding the old photograph of Moyderwell. Yes, I remember it well,
The shop front Taylors is giving me flashbacks to an old Mr. Taylor who had something to do with eyeglasses. He was not a doctor, but someone who gave you eye tests for glasses??? I am guessing he was there in the early 1960s Back then
Mullins had a shop further down, Dineens further up past the entrace to
Presentation convent. Moyderwell school was on the same street.
There was a sweetie shop next door to the entrance to Presentation.
A chip shop owned by Mr. Boylan from Kevin Barrys area? was located near Mr. Taylors shop.

Thanks for that kate,i have these already,except for the first old stock of tralee book which is out of print,you are right,they are very good books.

On the above site, find the placename link. Type in
Moydore Well Lane
(use the old spelling) of the street, and you will find all the names of the people who lived there in 1850s.
Taylor is one of them, which in a way confirms the location of the old photograph.
The origin of this thread request was for tracing a family on the street.
The guy from the States who wanted to visit the area in the picture can go to Kerry County Library and view the 1901 and 1911 census.

My grandfathers cousin lived at No 47 during 1901 census... William Howard Browne, his wife's family probably owned the property as they are mentioned Griffiths Evaluation (Foleys's) she the wife of W H Browne was Mary Foley daughter of James Foley long time resident in the Moyderwell area.

I'm trying to track down both the Howard & Browne families from whom W H Browne descended.

Any pointers appreciated
