    A Google search for a Henry Owens Upper Camden St.

    But be careful, the Henry Owens in the link and in your Irish Genealogy screenshot may not be your man if the address you’ve got is Old Camden St. It appears the Henry Owens in the link worked for Thom & Co, who produce Thom’s directory which may be useful in your search.

    Edit, Camden Street old and nearby Charlotte St. have been swallowed up by the Harcourt Centre. Only The Bleeding Horse pub remains.

    @chooseusername Thank you, I am sure I did google that but maybe not, I am just delighted to find it. It's definitely the right person, it's my grandfather and his son, my father was also Henry Owens and a Book Finisher, their signatures are near identical, I couldn't ask for more proof. My father worked for Thoms too for many years. Unfortunately I don't have a Thoms Directory but have access to a very early one, 1850 I think, so it might be useful as I go back.

    Thanks again.

    @Spurious Thank you, I read that, very interesting.
