Noel update on my Query about shops on Heath street. I have been told the shop Jimmy Jumbos was a cafe just off Heath Street . As for the other shop which I thought was Roy's well Someone pointed out that maybe the shopkeeper was Roy and the shop may be called something else. So I'm now looking for a shop that was run by a man called Roy . Does that tick any boxes with anyone . So shop on Heath Street run by someone called Roy /Royston maybe.

You said the shop was "at the top of the street" - as I don't know the street I am not sure which end you mean. Can you clarify please. Thanks
However, on the list provided in post #58 at 48 is an R Bicknell. According to the eroll for 1965 the gentleman was Royston Bicknell and his wife was Joan.

I'm not to sure because I was only a toddler but my family used to tell me about our time living in 109 heath street, mam used to send my brother up to Roy's for sugar and things on tick until they got paid. So I'm assuming it's up passed 109 if that made sense. My sister was great at remembering things but she has passed away now.
Our family returned to Dublin in 1970.
Hope I'm not rambling too much.
