A chance discovery in a Dublin skip and a curious coincidence 40 years later have resulted in a significant historical find including grants of land bearing the royal seals of Elizabeth I, kings George I, James I and Charles I .

Makes you wonder what the twerps are thinking (or not) when they throw this stuff away .
I wanted to search the inmates records of a local Workhouse but the local archivist at the records office said there were none for this particular place .
The records had been left in the building when the place was bulldozed to the ground in the 60s !
