My great great great grandfather, Pierce Doran, died at his home on Ball Alley Lane, New Ross in 1872.  I am curious to know if anyone else has traced ancestors to Ball Alley Lane and/or has early photos of the Lane.

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Hopefully someone will see your message and post a comment. In the interim, can I suggest that you check with the library branch in New Ross. They may have info on 19th century pictures of Ball Lane.

  • just in case it helps link up with any other families with links to Ball Alley Lane, New Ross.

    The Lane was quite small, see c1890 OSI map, just 9 houses at the time of Griffith's Valaution in 1853, 4 of wihch were vacant.
