Maitiuocoimin, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
 The Adventure

Thank you!
Welcome and thank you for all your work on the Ballybough article! I just wanted to let you know I did a bit of tweaking of it, so that there wasn't duplication of information in the main article on the cemetery, as well as just some tweaks to the citations and other small housekeeping tasks. Thanks again for your contributions and research into the area! Smirkybec (talk) 23:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Adjacent areas?
Given the high level of detail you have been able to add about Ballybough, I thought you might have come across some information related to Summerhill and North Strand (both a bit sad and neglected!) Let me know if I can help at all :) Smirkybec (talk) 13:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I'm only new to Wiki editing and amn't sure how to send messages to people. Is this right? I'm from Ballybough and have a few books and maps and things about the area. Everywhere kind of bleeds in together, so I suppose there are bits and pieces that could be put into the other places, Fairview and East Wall as well.


 * Spot on this is exactly how you answer :) You can add a signature to your replies by adding for tildas (four of these guys ~) I'm hoping to do a bit of work on Summerhill as I work my way around Dublin streets that were effected by the slum clearances. I only suggested it if you stumbled across anything that was missing elsewhere! Thanks again for your hard work! Smirkybec (talk) 19:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh I see, thanks! I have more to add on Ballybough, but if I find things for other places I can put those in too. If you're working on Summerhill you could look into 'Crinan'. It's an old name for around the place where Ballybough and Summerhill overlap at Portland Row down as far as around Talbot Street is now. Nothing is as clear cut as that, of course, but it's worth looking into. It's named in a document from the mid-fourteenth century, but I can't find it right now. 'Fyrres' is another old name for around there from later centuries which you might be able to find things on. Maitiuocoimin (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Reverend C Ó Conbhuí wrote about the area from the Tolka to the Liffey I'm 1962 in a paper called The Lands of St Mary's Abbey, you might find useful information there. Maitiuocoimin (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh brilliant! Thanks very much for the tips! Smirkybec (talk) 18:44, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
