What was once there?

Hi,

Currently I am researching my family ancestry. I have come across an address, during my research and although I have check Google maps and street view, all I come up with is a relatively new looking bungalow.

My great grandfather was christened at 544 Maynooth Road in Kildare about 1871. I have looked to see if there was a Church back then but cannot find any records. I don't know what website I can look at for further information.

If anyone knows what was there in 1871 please let me know.

Thank you

Merlie

Are you sure about that address ? I wouldn't have thought that we were using road numbering like that (so high) way back then.


This is a rough approximation of the location on the OSI mapping site - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,697076,734085,7,9 - and if you click on the different layers (different years of mapping) there doesn't seem to be a whole lot there.

The proximity to Carton House might indicate that he was involved in some way with the house *if* the location is accurate.

Out of curiosity, where did you find the 544 from? It'd be unusual for any Irish street to have a number that high. Just wondering if perhaps it's a page number from the Civil Registration Index.
