Play House Lane, Limerick
My Great Grandfather, Patrick Howard is shown as being born in 1871 and the address given is Play House Lane, Limerick
(No. 3). Does anyone have any clues as to where this was please.

Many thanks for that. Adds a lot of local things up. My grandfather, Patrick Howard, and family lived in Williams Lane in 1911 then moved to Brennans Row, he and one of his sons, Christopher, worked for Griffins the undertakers in lower Gerald Griffin Street and another uncle of mine, Patrick, the eldest son, lived in a local shop with a relative Eddie Donnally, further down the road so the family did stay local.
Your information has helped in my quest to house my Limerick ancestors. I was born in Limerick and lived, in my infancy, in Willam Street, a flat above, what was then, Bolgers Stores.
Once again, many thanks. Ray Howard
