Thom's Lookup c.1956

Boscod

A possible relative died at St Kevin's Hospital on 19th September 1956, aged 99 years, with her home address listed as 42 Fenian St, Dublin. I'm trying to establish names of residents living there, that she may have resided with. I suspect this was a tenement building, with individual tenants not being recorded, but worth a try anyway as I cannot find either a death notice or burial record.

Many thanks.

The most recent Thom's I can view online from 1949 has the following entry "42-43 Tenements".

Have you had any luck with death notices?

Afraid not, nothing found on Irish Newspapers Archives for Julia herself, her husband or their daughter that pre-deceased her.

Thanks for your help.

Found this newspaper reference on FMP to a list of people being awarded for bravery, including one from 42 Fenian St, probably long odds its the right family -

1949? Where's this one?

AAI has (had?) a 43-65 gap which is very annoying.

I have access to the original (paper) Thoms from 1954, I can post an image of the Fenian St entries if anyone interested

42 Fenian Street is listed as 'in tenements' in my 1950 Thom's.

There is a Joseph Mahon of 42 Fenian Street received a bravery certificate in April 1952 along with another man from Pimlico for 'rescuing a boy from the Grand canal at Long's place on June 29th 1951'.

There is also a mention in 1958 of a Joseph Mahon of 42 Fenian Street being awarded compensation following being struck by a motorcycle in November 1955.

You could see can you find old electoral rolls.

Any chance you know where buried and if in somewhere with burial records that have addresses, or can check others in plot?

Afraid not, I've found no burial records at all. Her husband Patrick Rothery (Rodthery/Rothdery) died 1909 at the Hospice Harolds Cross, at which point they were living in Pleasants St, while her daughter, Margaret, died in 1930 when they were living in Sweetmount near Dundrum. St Nathi's Churchtown was the closest graveyard to this, but nothing was found here, Mount Jerome or Deansgrange for either.

There's a few Rotherys in Glasnevin, slightly different spelling/name and perhaps already searched. Best of luck with it, hopefully a breakthrough will appear

Mt Jerome only accepted non Catholics from 1920's. Glasnevin would be worth a look and can be searched with an address.
