Eringobragh1916, many thanks. I am going to see if I can find my way into these records later today.

The Josephine : Peter - daughter : father is a connection that I simply did not think of believing that Peter was an uncle but of course it is possible that Peter was actually the father and that there was another Peter within the close family Ian in-law) of some such. I think I shall take a little break now as my head is going round and round.

Thanks again, Sue

Suan....I have read about the availability of DWR to FMP and what I understand is you can actually look at the Admissions /Dicharge Books... but not being able to access the site (Non Subsciber) I cannot check this out or how you do it...maybe someone can advise on that...


If you check the National Archives 1901 Braithwaite Street you will find Byrne's living there no's 10.2 12.5 and the following at
21.2 in Braithwaite Street (Merchants Quay, Dublin)

Mc Grath William 10 Male Brother in Law Roman Catholic Dublin City Scholar Cannot read - Not Married -
Byrne James 29 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic Co Wicklow General Labourer Cannot read - Married -
Mc Grath Mary 40 Female Mother in Law Roman Catholic Dublin City Char Woman Cannot read - Married -
Whelan Mary Female Nurse Child Roman Catholic Dublin City Scholar Cannot read - Not Married -
Mc Grath Mary 6 Female Sister in Law Roman Catholic Dublin City Scholar Cannot read - Not Married -
Mc Grath Julia 14 Female Sister in Law Roman Catholic Dublin City - Read - Not Married -
Byrne Marcella 19 Female Wife Roman Catholic

Whether the above have any connection to Josephines father Peter I cant tell..

Try this

It's the gateway, not the actual census.

Here's the search form for 1901/1911

Suan..I don't have access to FMP....
Have just had a look through 1911 Census and there is only 1 J Byrne (Only initials were used for these type of Returns) in the Cabragh Workhouse may or not be female...

http://census.nationalarchives.ie...

Suan...Just put in Byrne J Dublin age 4.....and click on first name that shows (there are only 2 the other is for Childrens Hospital.

Don't know if there were other Byrne children but there are a few Byrne "Children " in Cabragh.

Just tried the census and keep coming up with a negative result. Does anyone else have any other ideas of how I may trace this person please?

Hi Eringobragh, Yes I do have a name and date of admission with a workhouse number and other data. Admission date is 1906.

It depends on the time frame you are looking at..you could try searching the 1901/1911 Irish Census if it was pre 1901 alternatively the BMDs..
Do you have a name and date of admission/ discharge..?

Dublin Workhouses Admission & Discharge Registers 1840-1919

Does anyone know if it is possible to trace a person who has been discharged from one of these institutions in the Irish Republic. It is the first time I have come across one of these entries and I am a little stuck. Thanks,
