This was covered by Frank McNally in the Irish Times a number of years ago. www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/an-irishman-s-diary-o... The monument was moved across the street to the west side of the Luas tracks.

Would Mr Lambert have been living on Middlesex Street in Wakefield? Because Middlesex is a county in the south of England, and Wakefield is a city in West Yorkshire in the north of England, but it does have a Middlesex Street.

Very detailed reports of funeral in Irish Independent 10 May 1905, including its passage by train from Kingsbridge (as noted by O Mac) to Limerick.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/quiteadept Zoe, you are 100% correct, it is Middlesex Street, Wakefield. Edit, It might not be Middlesex Street, is it Middlestown?

The record of his death captures the details in a small space, with the other victim John Fleming next in the record.
