Hi Joe, Kerry Village was in town around Carver, Elliot, Stuart, Church, Broadway, Warrenton streets. I think it may have covered from Arlinton Street and extended over to Harrison Ave where St James Catholic Chruch is located. I sent you via E-Mail the site for Bay Village which was also called Kerry Village at one time. I am not exactly sure of the boundaries. My Dad was born in 1908 on Elliot Street one block from the Common, my greatgrandparents came from Kerry in 1883. All I know is there were a lot of Kerry people there at one time. The city directories for the turn of the century have all Irish names in that aea. Many Boston sites have references to Kerry Village. I hope this helps. Tim
