Architect and surveyor, of Laurence Street, Drogheda, Co. Louth. According to his 1911 census return, Louis Turley was born in Co. Down in 1867 or 1868. He became architect to the Drogheda and Ardee Poor Law Unions, which each comprised two rural districts, one in Meath and one in Louth. In 1907 he petitioned the Louth Rural District Council in the Drogheda Union for an increase in his salary, which, he said, at £25 per annum 'was only sufficient to keep him in car hire'.(1) In 1922 he was appointed architect for the Drogheda Corporation housing scheme.(2) He died in 1937.(3) At the time of the 1911 census he had been married for eight years and had four children. After his death a younger son, Daniel Turley, carried on the practice at 17 Laurence Street until about 1950.(4)
