Thomas Aloysius Raleigh was born 8 July 1843 in LImerick. He is my mother's great grandfather. Any information you could give me would be most appreciated. I am coming to Ireland this summer and hope to see where my ancestors orginated from in Ireland.
Thanks for your assistance,

Hi Susan,
Thanks for the information.
In the Griffiths Valuation records Edward in St.John's landlord was John Russell. Two records for him.

Click in the "Larger Map" and zoom in, I should imagine that all this area has been re-developed but this is the road.
I hope this helps.
