36 Belgrave Road - Alexander Keyes - see 1911 census and various web pages such as this one and articles including this one from which we can identify the said Alexander Keyes as one and the same person as is recorded as "Alexander Keys"  in the 1901 census who corresponds with a fictional customer of Leopold Bloom in Joyce's Ulysees. (The discrepancy in spelling between the 1901 and 1911 census records fits well with the narrative of errors relating to the real and fictional characters!)

41 Belgrave Road - Argyle Cottage (a villa-style house which stood on the site at the eastern corner of the junction of Belgrave Road and Palmerston Road, and was demolished and replaced with an apartment block around the 1970s) -

(i) James Steen Millar, listed in Thom's Directory of 1862 in business with John Beatty of Millar & Beatty, a furnishing business which later moved to Grafton Street. James Steen Millar  (presumably one and the same James B. Millar as named in other accounts) moved subsequently to Richview House where he resided until his death in 1898. For more about Millar & Beatty (mostly Beatty)  see this entry at youwho.ie and for historic photographs see this photograph showing the business on Grafton Street and this example of their furnishings. An additional curioty in terms of historic photographs is this one showing Patrick Kavanagh on Bloomsday in 1954 with a Millar & Beatty van in the background.

(ii) Alexander Kickham, brother of Charles Joseph Kickham Fenian and novelist, who may have visited him during his time at this address

(iii) Arthur Warren-Darley "violinist, folksong collector, music teacher, and adjudicator as well as a traditional music archivist", also his son who went on to become a medical doctor and died in 1948 having served with Irish Red Cross personnel in Saint-Lô in the aftermath of World War II and whose death inspired Samuel Beckett to write the poem Mort de A.D.
