Very interesting!
My grandmother was born in Dublin in 1873. Her father, Philip Fogarty (b.1828), was a Clerk in the courts of Dublin Castle as was his father before him. Both Bram Stoker and his father Abraham Stoker, Sr. would have been Clerks there at the same time as my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather. It is quite likely they knew each other. Bram Stoker’s first book, The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland, a handbook in legal administration, was published in 1879.
