Hullo,
My mother was in domestic service and married in 1940 giving her address as 1, St Mary's Cottages, Upper Dorset Street Dublin. She was married in the Church at Berkeley Street (No name of church given). I wondered if there might be old pictures/postcards of the old cottages or the church. I also wondered if there was anyone on the Forum who had done research on the different areas of Old Dublin who could tell me whether the people who inhabited the cottages would be the kind to employ a domestic? I would like to establish whether my mother was living in the cottage at no.1 as a domestic or whether she was just boarding? I've tried to find Directories to see if I could discover who lived in the cottage but no luck so far. I realise that this area is now under reconstruction, going by Google maps, and I think it's named Paradise Street or something like that.Needless to say, I am not able to visit the area for myself as I live abroad, so any help,
any clues, would be much appreciated and thank you in advance for reading this.
