    Property Laws: Legally, child abduction was often treated under laws relating to the "stealing" or theft of a person's services or clothing, rather than modern kidnapping frameworks.

    "No. 3 Castle-st." has been rebuilt; I imagine it looked very like the still-standing No. 4, with a street level shop and three floors of house above (?) - maps.app.goo.gl

    The NLI is always amazing! The previous house demolished 1812...
    "View of an old house in Castle Street, corner of Werburgh street, taken down in April, 1812" - the shop says 'COULTER'.
    (I suppose it could have been at one of the other corners, but the fortuitous coincidence is too good to ignore) -

    Was she ever found?
    There appears to be no record, either way

    We have found a new photo detective! Maeve Burke reports "The woman in the front is my Nanna Elizabeth "Lizzie" Furey Hanafin (niece of the late, great Ted Furey). This was taken when she was 17 and only 2 years before she got married to my Granda who cannot believe how popular this picture has become and how famous his Lizzie is! She passed away 4 years ago but I can tell you she would've loved making the front page of The Irish Times today nevermind being in an exhibition in Dublin! She'd have every copy in the country bought & be up at the exhibition herself! She was a great storyteller, a tough-cookie and well known and respected in Kerry. Her and my Granda bought a chipvan and went all over Ireland to festivals and fairs making friends wherever they went. She told me and my sister lots of stories about when she was travelling with her mother Dolly Furey, who would play the accordion for money and all the hardships they faced, especially during the cold winters in the wagon. We're lucky too that she taught my mother and us the Gammon (which would've been her first language) and passed on many great traveller traditions and crafts like crocheting, sewing, singing, lilting and storytelling. She really was an amazing woman and this is a picture our family will treasure forever. Thank you so much to everyone who commented on this, she would've been over the moon!"

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Wonderful! Meanwhile, in Kildare, the Hill of Allen on the GeoHive OSI 25" map. Much of the Hill has been quarried away since the 25" was surveyed, see Google aerial view.
