Of the near #cenus1926 2,000 strong Russian (Lithuanian) Jewish community most lived in Dublin (around the South Circular as you'd expect), a few hundred in Cork, most of those recorded outside of these urban areas, as in Tipperary, were commercial travellers.
There were 7 Jews in Tipperary in #Cenus1926, 5 same family aged 23 to 16 lodging in a house in Tipperary town working for father who is living in Dublin. A Russian born electrical engineer saying in a Clonmel hotel. A Patrick Nash in Clonmel Asylum who may not actually have been Jewish. #speirgorm
Found my father's IRA cousin, in #Cenus1926 he was boarding in Clonmel working as a secondary teacher (he was in UCC before abandoning his studies to join, resumed after release from gaol so likely 1st job). #speirgotm 1>>
Looked up Hanna sheehy skeffington. I didnt know she was church of Ireland. She went to Dominicans so I always assumed Catholic. #cenus1926
