Hi there
Would love to hear from anyone out there having links to these South Belfast families.
My great-grandfather Hugh Fullerton married Mary Anne Clements 1911.
Hugh Fullerton's father called Robert Fullerton, he married Isabella Moffett 1873 from Dundonald.
Robert Fullerton's father also Robert Fullerton.
Mary Anne Clements parents were William Clements and Mary anne from Down.
Sorry don't have much to go on, would be grateful to hear of anyone connected with these.
Many thanks!

Hello Debbie,
There were four guys named Hugh Fullerton from South Belfast who signed the Ulster Covenant in 1912.
Hugh Fullerton, 68, Barkmore Street, Belfast
Hugh Fullerton, 115, Utility Street, Belfast
Hugh Fullerton, 68, Bankmore Street, Belfast
Fullerton Hugh 115 Utility Street Belfast: South
It looks as though these ones were not your Hugh ... I guess they were a father and son in each instance.

I have been trying to find Fullerton connections in Belfast as well. I'm tied to a Dr. George Franklin Fullerton who moved to Texas following the Civil War https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth354360/m1/287/
His Father James C Fullerton may have been born in Belfast circa 1799 and traveled to South Carolina with his family a John F Fullerton born circa 1755 and mother Sarah Edward.

I've been unable to find any more information if you have ever come across those names in your research it would be much appreciated.
I welcome any Fullerton males to test with familytreedna and join the Fullerton surname project.
