[OHM] Historic Digest, Vol 71, Issue 1

Wed Jun 5 07:53:35 UTC 2019

Hi Jeff and crew
Delighted to see the headway reported and the examples. In particular the
talk of boundary histories.

In Dublin Ireland I have added 5 sets of boundaries for the Rathmines (and
Rathgar) township/UDC . I give the details below in case they are of use
for trial purposes

1747-1862   6144159
1862-1866   6144160
1866-1880   6144161
1880-1900   6144162
1900-1930   6359197

All of these have start_date and end_date tags.

I have also added 8 Dublin city boundaries between 1780 and 1953 but 1916
is still missing. can work on those dates if helpful.

Thanks for your good work.
