Title: Wisener/Couchman - LECALE ST
Post by: jomalube on Sunday 30 April 06 19:02 BST (UK)

I'm trying to find info on my gt.Aunt Cissie (Esther) Wisener and her husband David, with children Jinne, Davey, Ruth, Rita (Couchman?) and Tommy (Mepsted). 
The only detail I have from my elderly mum is that they lived near the Bog Meadows about 1938 and she thinks the road could have been called Lecale St. 
Would anyone know if this is feasible & can anyone offer any pointers?
Thanks
Jomalube

Hi Jomalube,

Lecale Street's in the right area. It runs from 380, Donegall Road to Tate's Avenue.

I'm sorry I've not got any street directories of the required period.

I've made a note to look at a directory when next in the Central Library.

Hi.
Lecale St., still exists, that area has yet to be redeveloped. If you use Google Earth it will take you to it.
There was a Couchman family living in Coolderry St., in the 1960's and '70's, don't know what became of them. Coolderry St., was one of the streets off the Donegall Rd., that were pulled down to build a car park for the City Hospital.

PS.  Most the bog meadows is long gone, buried under the M1 motorway, industrial estates and the Boucher Centre retail park. A small portion still exists as a nature reserve.

I realize this is an old thread, but this is mostly so I get notified if anybody shares memories/stories of LECALE STREET in general, or even my parents who lived at NUMBER 82 in the late 60s.  He was doing his Ph.D, and they were both from farming families in Yorkshire.
