Martin Dolan, died in 1953 in Nutfield, Ballinasloe
This message is for Graham Dolan, and it is connected to this Builiding:
My brother-in-law went out and took a photo of the building last night. It is in Nutfield Knocknagreana for sure. It seems to the second in a line of about 7 blocks of semi-detached houses all in a similar style except for the first which is detached.
I can't tell you any of the history - there is nothing online and a person who used to live nearby and who knew everything about that area, the wonderful Mrs Casey, sadly passed away last year. If I come across any details I will let you know.
I am attaching a few photos of the building from yesterday and a clip of where it is on the map. Also here are the Google coordinates.
I am also attaching a pdf of what would appear to be Martin's death record that I got from Irishgenealogy.ie. You will be better placed to confirm the details and probably have this already.
I hope this is of some help. My Dad might know more about the houses, and I will ask him next time I visit, as it might be difficult to explain over the phone.

My uncle Ray Jordan remembers visiting Martin Dolan exsoldier and tailor to have clothes altered. He remembers Martin having a moustache and sitting cross legged on table while working.
