Abstract
The quality of life in Dublin is described drawing on data at the level of the parishes. Current concepts of QoL are applied to seventeenth-century Dublin. An amenity index based on data from ten parishes is displayed showing a connection to burials per family. This chapter presents entries from parish records in the form of anecdotes on deaths, exact sites of interments, and marriages. William Petty’s comments on the Dublin Bills. In table format the combined burial data of Petty and Willoughby are given.
