Hi, following further research I have found a contact in the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity and I am going to contact her directly. Thanks
Thank you for your responses. I am a new resident to the Drumcondra area but when you refer to the north wall /nursing home for nuns run by the nuns, do you know the name of it ? It it "Highfield" with the entrance on the swords road? To the back of the convent there is a private retirement centre called "Beech Lawn" but to my knowledge that has nothing to do with the nuns. I would be grateful for any further information you may have as I would be interesting in contacting them. I understand that some of the history could be very upsetting for them, but there is one particular building structure that I am interested in.
I have just been over to Ireland to seek out information about my grandmother who was a resident of High Park Convent. I have been given the name of the Archivest, Sister Lucy Bruton, Beech Lawn House, Gracechurch Road, Drumcondra and I will be writing to her today.
Good luck with your search,
Molly's girl
I know this forum thread is from a long long time ago but I wanted to check with you Molly to see if you got the information you were looking for? I'm also searching for information on my grandmother, she spent time at the Reformatory School in High Park convent and I'm trying to find records. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
