Sheridan residence in Carisbrook.


Above: The will of Patrick Sheridan, brother of Nicholas Sheridan, in which he left land in Carisbrook to Nicholas.




Above: Taken from an application written by Nicholas Sheridan some years after Patrick Sheridan's death re. his ownership of the land at Carisbrook bequeathed to him by his brother. It specifies the exact block of land concerned.



Above: The little cottage in Annesly Street, Carisbrook, located next to the railway crossing. Initially purchased by Patrick Sheridan, policeman, it became the home of Nicholas and Bridget Sheridan and their ten children.


Above: Map showing the location of the Sheridan cottage in Annesly Street, Carisbrook. Whilst the individual allotments are not shown, the Sheridan block occupied allotments 5 and 6 in section 18. It can be seen that the railway line passes through two blocks in Section 18- the Sheridan home would have been located here as Bridget was in charge of opening and closing the railway gates as trains passed through, and would have needed to be close on hand for this job.
