    Is it possible to help with an address at 6 North Earl Street for 1919 and 1920, please? The Dublin Street Directory of 1918, shows the building as ‘destroyed in rebellion, 1916’, with the Franco Portrait Co. operating there in 1921. Thanks in advance.

    in case it's of interest for other searches relating to 1916 damage, I created a Dublin City, before and after the 1916 Rising listing based on the 1916 Insurance map and directory listings from 1914 and 1917 - e.g. Earl Street North.

    Had to share my pain!

    My great grandmother had a shop on north king street, first registered in 1926 according to Thoms Directory. My grandfather was born in 1909 but his parents never married.... His father was registered on the birth as Michael Joseph Kelleher (same as his father). In Thoms Directory 1926 on the same street as my Great grandmother, an M.J. Kelliher (different spelling) had a tea rooms... I contacted the Valuation office and they couldn't find any reference to the tea rooms, it just said there were lodgers, and they were not named. Was really hoping I had proof it was my Great Grandfather.... dead end though. :(
