    Can anyone decipher the first word in the second row please?

    I think it's an address in Dublin from an extract of prison register. The second address is Monck's Place in Phibsboro.

    I won't say what I think it is to avoid influencing other viewers!

    Thanks,
    Pinky

    It looks like G-l-a-s-t-e-r St.

    Good point about not giving a clue!

    Gloucester Street, sometimes spelled Gloster (Sean McDermottt Street to us today).

    That's what I thought too.

    Anyone know what the closest Protestant church to there was in 1855?
    St Mary's (now the church pub beside Jervis)?
    ETA: I looked at the OSI and see St Thomas's is at the top of the street.

    Either way, I may need to get the time machine out.

    I would have said St. Thomas CofI/Civil parish also - most of the area west of O'Connell St. was St. Mary's, the east St. Thomas. North of Parnell St. was St. George (much later united with St. Thomas).

    Yes, agreed - and no records of help for any of those three surviving. :(

    There are some burnt records for St. Thomas in the RCB described in their notes as '..volumes to the mid-19th century are not readily usable...'. Dont know what dates they cover. I know someone who was able to figure out a few details for their line from these.

    I once had to check the St. Thomas CofI parish records in the RCB. At the time I wrote a note in my notebook to remind me...."never ask for this book again". The reason being the smell of the burnt pages is still quite overwhelming. I try to stick to irishgenealogy.ie if I can instead.
