    "Two foreigners found sketching outside the Royal Field Artillery Barracks have been arrested at Kildare and are still in custody" (Belfast Telegraph - Monday 10 August 1914). Not the only people to be arrested that week for 'acting suspiciously with an odd accent'.

    One of the few bits of the barracks still standing: Magee Terrace on Streetview The NIAH lets us down today, no dates.

  • Sharon Corbet said:
    However, there is a Joseph Dawson, a general merchant, in the 1911 Census at 2 Main St., which is described in the Building Return Form as a grocery and hardware shop.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There are a couple of other photos of Dawson's that are not yet digitised, including this one which mentions that their motto was "that they sold everything from a needle to an anchor."
