Hi There
I am not related to the Meehans but I do have an interest in 1 2 and 3 Esplandade Villas (404. 405 & 406 Clontarf Road), Dollymount, Clontarf. My Great Great Great Uncle Peter Morgan owned all three houses in late 1890's. He died in 1908 and left the three houses to his wife Margaret. They lived in 1 Esplanade Villas and rented out the other two which appeared to have 9 apartments each at the time. The last mention of Margaret at this address is in 1912 in the Dublin Electoral Rolls. I cannot find any trace of Margaret after that, nor can I find where either Peter or Margaret are buried...... However, while researching Esplanade Villa's I found out the following:
The first mention I found of the Meehans was at No. 3 (now 406) in 1914.......
1914: Lucy and Agnes are listed as living at No 3 Esplanade Villas as Lodgers of Patrick E Meehan
1916: Raid took place at No. 3 in search of Fr Meehan of Castlebar
1920 May Meehan at No 3 Esplanade Villas wins 1st prize in a singing competition
1926: Patrick Meehan of No. 3 Esplanade Villas (District Inspect of RIC and member of Dublin Corporation died aged 83
1927 Death of Louis Meehan of No. 3 Esplanade Villas son of late Patrick Meehan
1953 Death of Patrick Meehan of No. 1 (404 ) Esplanade Villas. Was in the RIC and later joined the guards in 1922, He was a Superintendent in Granard (His brother John Meehan was a Garda in Drogheda at the time of his death. Note: It appears the Meehans moved from no. 3 to no 1 Esplanade Villas at some point between 1927 and 1953.
That is the last note I have on the Meehans.......
I hope this helps fill in some gaps in your information.
I would be delighted if anyone reading this could update me if they come across any information on what happened to Margaret Morgan after 1912.
Kind regards
