Thanks so much for the offer.
Would you please look and see if there is a Murdock in Mineral Street.
Thanking you Jena. :) :) :)

Hi.

Hi teap78,
thanks very much for that information. I am trying to contact a living relative of the Murdock family. If anyone out there know the whereabouts of John and Sarah's daughter Mary I'd be delighted to hear from you.
John was a cousin of my father.
It is hard for me being in Australia.
Thanks again Jena :) :) :)

Hello Anthony
thanks for your message
Hmmn....... a bit of a puzzle here the 1870 William Mcnally carpenter at 18 Welsh street .i have that address nearly 40 years later on a marriage cert for Minnie Mcnally but have her father as Samuel a carrier?? (could that be the same as carter???) but his father was also a Samuel so i have no idea as to who William was ::)very interesting is it possible to check out the 18 Welsh street in other years??the bond street with the Samuel looks interesting too.
thanks once again regards aeroqueen

Hello Anthony
I guess it could quite easily be either of those! The name i was hoping to come across was Bogue. If you wouldnt mind having another look at both I would be really grateful. Whenever you can. Thanks :)

Hello
A look-up of the 'Cavanagh' name in any years from 1912 onwards would be very much appreciated, in particular James or Alexander Cavanagh , possibly in the Shankill district.

hi colette,
thank you for that piece of info, i will see what i can find out from it, i am hoping that someone with earlier directories will be able to help further,
thanks once again, kali.
-
Hi
-
hello anthony,
i am afraid the info i have is pretty sparce but a- thomas besley b abt 1840 had a child fredrick charles besley, and a daughter elizabeth, then another part of the family john ferris married a mary ann spence and had a child william ferris b 1909 who married elizabeth besley, who actualy lived were i don't know but the addresses i have are..........
arosa parade off york road
4 trafalgar court square st anns cathedral. i am afraid this is all the info i have on the families in ireland, john ferris was a seaman so the one you found is looking good, but i would appreciate anything else you could find, or a list of names as you suggested,
anyway thank you for your help every little piece gives a bit more hope, all the best, kali.
-
Hi
-
Thanks for trying teap78, don't think it is one of mine though.
If anyone else has directories from the 1920/30/ or 1940's perhaps they could have a look for James or Alexander.
-
thanks anthony,
i am sure they will be a great help, the person i am doing this for will be over the moon, she realy did'nt think she would get any further with her family but this will now give her some impetus to go further,
thanks again ,
kali.

hi Anthony
could you please tell me who was living at numbers 2, 4 and 6 forest street in 1900.
thanks Colette.
Hi
-
Thats the one Anthony, its my grt grandfather, he married mary lowry out of number 4 but when he married her he was living with his parents the mc canns at number 2. and she was living with her mother and father and siblings at her granparents house number 4. her grandfather john mullin died (sometime after 1901 as he was 70 in the 1901 census) my grandmother charlotte mccann was born in number 4 in 1906 so mary must have nipped next door to her grans to have her lol. or maybe they were living in number 4 in 1906 and moved into number 6 after that. god my heads melted.
thanks so much anthony you are filling in the gaps rightly.
i told you they were all house hopping lol.

hi scotsmum
i looked at the 1969 directory and i could only find one cavanagh
Bainesmore drive which leads to the shankill
number 2 Cananagh Fredk fitter hope this helps, colette
teap78, after thanking you for this find and saying it wasn't one of mine, I have received info from an old death certificate and the informant was a Frederick, so, looks like it is a link after all. ;D Funny how things can eventually tie-in. It certainly pays to keep the 'just in case' pieces of info when doing a tree. So, thanks again.
Could someone try 8 Westland Street for me in any directories between c1911-1948?
-
;D im glad i could be of help dont ya just love it when a plan comes together? :D
colette
-
Hi
-
Thanks, Anthony. Another new name for me to search on (ie David) as well as more recent dates which I hadn't expected. If anything else turns up, please post.
If not too much trouble, does the Fredk Cavanagh still appear at Bainesmore Drive in 1973 too?
-
Hello Anthony.

Hi

yes please Anthony.
My Grt GF John Doyle married margaret Mulholland in 1894 his occupation gas fitter address was given as 18 conway street, hers was 104 Raglan street. their first 2 children were born 110 Raglan street in 95 and 96, the 3rd child was born in 104 raglan street 1899, 4th child was born in the work house 1904 and died 6 months later (still in the work house) and my grandfather was born in 18 leoville street in 1905. so i take it 104 and 110 raglan street was where they lived bfore they married but i wonder why 18 conway street was on the marriage cert? can you tell me who was listed at that address pretty please? and if it isnt to much trouble can you tell me the other doyles and mulhollands you have for living near by.
Thank you so much Anthony

colette/anthony
Thanks for all your help so far on the Cavanagh name. Could I ask either/both of you for another check on this name, in the years you have access to, but this time at Argyle Street (?Place).
Thanks in advance - much appreciated.
-
Hi
-
Thanks for these. colette and anthony, more bits of the wall methinks :).
-
Hi Anthony,
does your 1870 directory have a name index or just streets? If there is a name index I'd be pleased if you could look up a William James skilling - possibly working as a teacher.
If anyone wants look ups in the Hendersons 1856 Ulster directoy - I have that. Outside Belfast it really only lists traders and important people
-
Hi
-
Thanks for that - we have all been keeping you busy haven't we?
I reckon this is probably my man but he was a teacher in 1862 in Newtownards - then when he moved to Liverpool he became a freight clerk. Wonder why he stopped teaching ;D
Did book keepers get more pay? Surely the kids must have been little angels in those days ;D
thank again
-
Hi
-
Wow you are working overtime - I have this Stephen in the 1856 Ulster directory at same address - I think it is either a brother or the father but haven't managed to prove or disprove either theory yet. It is useful to go further back and know they were still at same address
Thanks very much
-
Anthony you seem to be slaving away there. Take it easy man. There is always tomorrow. I looked in the 1880 Directory of Belfast and the Province of Ulster kindly put on line by http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk. They do a really great job of work putting the directories on line. No Skillings for that year in Belfast.
-
I tried to follow that link once before and it didn't work but today it is working and looks interesting - thanks

Hi

Anthony that Stephen Skilling must be my gt gt gt grandfather - which directory is this in? that gives me a good chance of some day checking out some school records. Brilliant. Thank you so much.
What I now have to work out is whether the Stephen Skilling Mill St 1856 and other dates, grocer, is the same as the stephen skilling Teacher. I am thinking that the grocer is the son of the teacher and the brother of my 3 x gt grandfather.

Hello Anthony , Ive found out my Grt Grandmothers birth details it is Margaret Mulholland born 15th aug 1871, number 9 Shankill Road, her Father was Michael mulholland mother was Margaret Oneill the note at the bottom said parents not married could you Please have a look at your 1870 street directory for 9 Shankill Road and let me know who was there.
thanks Colette
-
Hi
-
Thankyou for all the imfo Anthony. I dont think that Michael Mulholland is the right one cus it says her fathers occupation was spinning master when she married my Grt Grandfather in 1894 and her father was dead by then., Is there no Mulholland or Oneill at 9 Shankill road in 1870?
thankyou for your patience
colette

Hello from Canada!
Anthony, you are doing a grand service for your fellow ancestor hunters & it is greatly appreciated. I hope all is well with you & yours.
I tried following the trail of Castle Studio but hit the expected wall.
Could I ask you to please check your directories for 2 items?
1. 1938 onwards - Bladon Park, 128 Malone Road, Belfast. My aunt Martha Wilson (born in 1886) lived there in 1938. Sometime after that she married a minister named Lawrence Leslie or Leslie Lawrence. I can't get anything out of the Presbyterian Church without more info. What area of Belfast is Malone Road?
2. Martha's son Jack Wilson (born about 1910) apparently owned a shop on Beersbridge Road but I can't get anything from the Belfast City government.
Tahnks for your great efforts.
Roger (J.A.M.)

Hi
-
Thanks Anthony.
Now let me think.....My Grt grandmother Margaret Mulholland was married from 104 Raglan street in 1894 and there was a Margaret Oneill in Townsend Street same year... I wonder if Margaret Oneill ever did marry Michael Mulholland i know they weren't married at the time of my grt Gm birth. aweeeeeeee God I'm totally lost. The Jaffa Street sounds good to and as you said he could have still been registered as head of house even though he was dead. HELP ???. I noticed on the birth reg that the sponsor/informant was Ann Jane Haryard (clutching at straws now) she didn't happen to live at 9 Shankill road???
(Note at the bottom says sponsors surname is unclear)
Thank you so much
Colette
-
HI again Anthony I reread your post and noticed that Margaret Oneill was in Townsend street in 1884 (I have to learn to pay proper attention to posts) so maybe she is the mother of Margaret Mulholland who would have been aged 13 then. that leaves me more to think on.
thanks Anthony you are a great help.

Hi

thanks for talking to me and can you thank your wife to i will send you my email.by pm ::)

Hi Anthony, hope you're keeping well: i see you're still busy as ever checking records for everyone!
Do you think you could check your directories 1890 onwards for:
MADDEN at 27 or 13 SPRUCE STREET. and also
UTILITY Street for either MADDEN or BRENNAN.
You've checked for me before and came up with some info for DIVIS St.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Many Thanks,
Jomalube
-
Hi
-
Thanks Anthony, as efficient as ever: could I ask you to look at 19 Ashburn Street - BEATTIE(or BEATTY). Do you have any record?
Are there any directories for the period between 1902-1910?
Thanks
Jomalube. :-\
-
Hi
-
Wow Anthony!
you've given me another new ancestor to trace, as always, thanks so much for your help.
Jomalube
-
Hello Anthony
I'm still trying to track down details for my gt.granda MADDEN & Spruce st, and it's driving me mad!!!
Anyway, Colette has replied to my lookup request and given me lots of useful suggestions one of which was to check Belfast street directories from 1908-1914 to see when 27 Spruce street changed hands.
Would you have that info?
Thanx
Jomalube
-
Hi
-
Anthony, I'm grateful to you for any bit of information you may find. Thanks for your help so far.

Hi Colette. He is the only Michael Mulholland for 1870.
There is no O'Neill or Mulholland for No 9 Shankill Rd they could have been living there but where not the Head of the Household.
There is a Margaret O'Neill living at 16 Townsend St in 1884 a Grocer, thats near No 9 Shankill Rd.
There was a M, Mulholland Spinning Master at 42 Jaffa St in 1896 near the Shankill Rd.
I know what you are thinking, but he was Dead by 1894 yes but his name was still down as the head of the household for some reason if this was him?.
Please let me know what you think about this.
Anthony
im bloody lost with this quote thingy well anyhow here goes
Anthony in the Griffiths Valuation 1861-2 i found a Michael Mulholland at Glentilt Street as far as i can work out that was just of Agnes street which is of the shankill road could you Please look at your 1870 directory and see if he was still there and if the occupation was spinning Master. My Grt Grandmother was born in 1871 at 9 Shankill road and he was her father. and he wasnt married to her mother. i think you were right in saying he was at Jaffa street in 1896 even though Margaret was married in 1894 and said her dad was dead. for all i know she never knew him and just said he was dead.
Thankyou Colette
-
Hi
-
Thankyou Anthony, i fear im going to have to give up the search for Mr Michael Mulholland Spinning Master im not experienced enough to know what to do about him so i think i may just try and find some of the rest of my ancesters.

Hope i havent Mixed you all up to Much with my Ramblings
Colette.

Hi Anthony and Chris. Chris Raglan Street was of the Falls Road beside st peters.
Thankyou Anthony i worked out that William Hassard was married to Margaret Mulhollands mums sister Ann Jane Oneill and it was their Daughter Agnes Hassard who was witness at the Wedding of John Doyle and Margaret.
Ann Jane Hassard was witness at the Baptism of Margaret Mulholland and im begining to wonder if They Brought her up, she even lived with them after her marriage to john Doyle in 110 Raglan Street thats where their first child william was born and died aged 8 months,
9 Shankill Road…… Margaret Mulholland born here on the 15th of August 1871 her mother was Margaret O’Neill her Father was Michael Mulholland (parents not married)
8 Conway Street….. John Doyle married from here on the 13th of October1894. John was born in Banbridge on the 29th of June 1865 his mother was Margaret Mullan His Father was William Doyle he had 11 brothers and sisters some of who moved to Belfast
104 Raglan Street….. Margaret Mulholland was married from here
110 Raglan Street….. Margaret and John lived here with Margaret’s aunt Ann Hassard (O’Neill) First child William born here in 1895 died here 1896 age 8 months. Their second child Mary born was here in 1897.
104 Raglan Street….. Third child James born here on the 30th of December 1898
32 Oranmore Street….. 1900 Street directory listed John Doyle
16 Milan Street….. In the Street directory for 1902-1904 I think this may have been where my Grandfathers other brother John was born. (on the 28th of September 1904 a Daughter was born to Margaret and John in the Belfast work house she was baptized on the 4th of October it would seem that she died there on the 16th of march 1905 at12.30pm)
18 Leoville Street...... mY Grandfather Thomas Doyle was born on the 6th of september 1905, his mother Margaret Doyle (Mulholland) Died here on the 16th of October 1908 from General tuberculosis. Buried on the 18th of October 1908 in Milltown Cemetery
130 Cupar Street….. John Doyle remarried a woman Called Elizabeth Hawthorn a widow maiden name O’Neill originally from Bow Street, she may have been related to his first wife Margaret a cousin maybe? Since Margaret’s mother was O’Neill. ( I lost MY Grt Grandfather John Doyle from here i dont know when or where he died or anything else about him.
66 Sultan Street….. My Grand Father was married from here on the 24th of January 1930 to Charlotte McCann. The Street directory gives head of house as a Joe Mulholland from 1915 -1934 was he related to my grandfather’s mother?
4 Forest Street….. My Grandmother Charlotte McCann was born here on the 5th of September 1906 her Mother was Mary Lowry her Father was John Patrick McCann.
16 Fort Street…This is where Thomas and Charlotte lived after they married. Almost all of their children were born here including my Mother Gemma Ann in 1934, with the exception of my uncle Peter who was born in Glenavy in 1941 when my Grandmother moved there during the war because Mackie’s foundry was at the bottom of the Street and she was afraid the Germans would bomb
These are all the addresses i have i think.
Now that will give you Plenty to Chew on ;D
-
Anthony what were the years thats John Doyle was head of 110 Raglan Street And William Hassard 102 Raglan Street.
Colette
-
Hi Colette. It was 1896 also these names lived there.
78 Raglan St J, ONeill
138 Raglan St Agnes M'Cann.
My Father lived in Bow St in the 1930s.
Anthony
-
oh hell im all mixed up i know that William Hassard was head of house in 110 Raglan Street for a few Years but now i cant work out which and im thinking that margaret must have married out of 102 and not 104 in 1894.
When Margaret died in 1908 my aunt said a widow woman named lizzie used to come and bring some hot meals for my grt granda and the children but there was talk by the neighbours and the priests from Clonard Monastry called and said it was frowned on so the next ya know john married lizzie and they were living at 130 cupar street my aunt said it was a marriage of convenience as they never had any children together???.
I got lizzies details and her first marriage i think i found out more about her and her first husbands family than i did my own.
She was born in 1870 and married a Charles Hawthorne in 1889 they were both 19. he lived at 45 Bow street she lived at 25 Bow Street. She married John Doyle in October 1909
her Dad was John Oneill wonder if he was the brother of Margaret Mulhollands mum Margaret Oneill and her sister Ann Jane Oneill (Hassard).
Sorry im Rambling again
Colette

Colette
Can you ramble on to me please ............................because I have a Samuel O'Neil .............lost ..........his daughter Jane O'Neil married my gggrandfather...........have you seen him.
Steve
Steve would you like me to help too? I have an 1852 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster here. I doubt very much that your gggrandfather will appear in Colette's 1969 Directory. Have I missed a message? Colette have you more than one Directory? My Directory has a page full of O'Neills but no Samuel. Do you require any other names from that era? I was at school in Dublin with an O'Neill but suppose he would be too young.
Steve, if you carry on at this rate you could qualify for an Nobel Prize for Peace. It looks as though you are attempting to link families in West Belfast with East Antrim families. May I have a go too please.? Conway Street runs between the Falls Road and the Shankhill Road. In 1852 there was a Samuel Alexander, baker and grocer, with addresses at Ashmore Street, Conway Street. Our Alexanders came from East Antrim so I had not considering looking at the ones nearer to Belfast
Colette, these O'Neills are confusing me. I have received a private message about some more. Mollyrose sent this one -
Hello, I have my G.Parents marriage lines from Sacred Heart Church Belfast they married 1910 and her name - Catherine O'Neill and the address given was 22 Glenpark Street, Belfast. Brigid O'Neill was witness (sister possibly )but would like to know if that was the family home. also my G.Father John Butler his address was given as Whiteabbey. the reason for all this is I cant get a hold of d.o.b. for either.which stops me getting info on their parents. John was killed in action and Catherine gave up her children. so no one to ask about such things.
Yours hopefully. and thank you. Jo.
All the Best, Chris
-
Hello all, could someone do a look-up for a Thomas Keenan in 75 Westmoreland Street, Belfast for 1949 please?
Would be interesting to find possible parents. Not sure if he would still be there in later indexes.
Thanks in advance. Regards, TonyR.
-
Hi Tony. 75-77a Westmoreland was vacant ground in 1949 also in 1962.
There was 2 Thomas Keenan's & 3 T, Keenan's living in Belfast in 1949, would you want that info.
Hi Kaz35. There was a John Martin living at 32 Eliza St in 1962 a labourer.
Anthony

hi anthony
thanks for your reply.......would there b any other details of use to me, other ppl , dobs etc.......anything that will stop me banging my head of the walll lol
-
Hello Anthony,
I see you are online. Have you a street directory showing Steve's Samuel O'Neil? She seems to be a bit worried about him. He is not in my 1852 directory. He is her gggrandfather. Have you directories either side of 1852? I wish she had given dates.
Steve please give a few dates next time. I could hazard a good guess but feel it is not my place in case it makes it too easy to guess your age. I realise you are still 21.
All the Best Chris

Hi Anthony,
Anything before 1852? Where is Milton Street? It was not there in 1852.
The City must have grown a wee bit in those eighteen years.
Chris.

Hi Chisttopher. Milton St was off Raglan St lower Fall's.
The only thing was a Samuel M'Neill 1830.
Anthony

There are 2 Samuel's father and son so far ...........do not know their ages but Samuel jr ,his daughter married late 1880's so this one in Milton Street could be her father or grandfather........thank you both and if you find any more let me know.

You are keen Colette. Away for the weekend, just home and on the PC already posting information to people. That really is impressive. By the way did you have a great time when you were away?

A Genealogical Researcher, a Miss Marple type Private Detective and now a Personal Secretary, Colette. Your many attributes and talents never cease to amaze me. What next I wonder ::) I will look at the Co. Down board and see if I can offer assistance. Sorry. I cannot find them Colette. Not new messages then?
Where are your weekend messages dictated to you by your friend in Newtownards ???
All the Best, Chris

Hopefully this post still running :)
Any chance u could look up Michael & Mary Keaney 1960 onwards.
They resided at 6 Ventry Street
Thanx

Hi Colette,
How are you this fine morning.? I have been looking for May Street Presbyterian Church. I am trying to establish whether Thomas H. Brown of Chichester Street was a member of the congregation there http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,66674.0.html
May Street Prespyterian is supposed to have a mention somewhere in the article on this site http://www.gotobelfast.com/downloads/2004%20CHeritageMap_Inside13.pdf I've not had much luck spotting it so far although
I did spot the Belfast Corporation owned Milltown Cemetery which you mentioned in in your message on 31st January.
Milltown Cemetery was opened in 1872. The architect was Timothy Hevey. He designed the ornamental gates and a large Celtic Cross dedicated to Rev Clarke and Rev Cavanan
All the Best, Chris
-
Good Morning to you too Chris, Thankyou for the info on Milltown, Im still waiting on my mums cousin getting in touch with his older brother in the States to find out when my Grt Grandfather John Doyle died as you know he remarried after his wife died and must have passed on the deeds of the grave to his eldest son James who buried his Daughter and son (John Doyle shot dead at 10 Brittons Drive 1944) and little Grandson in 1945. now i found out James died in 1945-46 but isnt buried in the grave,
he is buried with his best friend a british soilder at the bottom of milltown ( the IRA man and British Soilder buried together).
So now im waiting on seamus Doyle in the states letting his bro Thomas know when their Grandfather John Doyle died
as far as im aware he is also buried in Milltown.
more for you to chew on lol
Colette
-
Good Afternoon to you Colette,
I love your anecdote about the IRA man and the British soldier being best friends and being buried together. Just as well you did not say it was a PIRA man and a British soldier. If that had been the case I might have died from the shock of reading such a story and required burial too lol.
I owe you an apology Colette. I omitted to congratulate you on posting 200 messages. Keep going. Reading your messages always brightens the day.
All the Best, Chris
-
UMMM Chris (gulps) it was a Provisional IRA man and a British Solider.

colette
Hei Colette,
Have you mentioned Tom William's name in an earlier message ??? I assume he was the soldier. Do you know more about Tom ??? Were James and Tom friends before Tom joined the Army ??? It is these little snippets from the history of a family that makes genealogy so interesting.
I hope you are keeping well and have been having a pleasant weekend.
Hasn't it been a beautiful day today.
All the Best, Chris

No Chris the Solider was Harry Quinn i think he was married to james wifes sister making him James Bro inlaw. and also as far as i know he too lived in Rodney Drive . now heres a link about Tom Williams

Hiya Colette,
You have me chewing over this one all right. I wonder how many graves, like the one at the bottom of Milltown Cemetery, contain the bodies of best friends one an IRA man and the other a British soldier. I imagine there may not be another one like it in Ireland.
All the Best,
Chris
-
Morning Chris, James son Thomas (named after my Grand Father) and Thomas son James (notice the repeat of the names?) know where the grave is they said if i want they can take me to it, think I'll wait until they can gave me a Date for John Doyles death then i can find out where he is buried and visit both at the same time.
Hello Anthony, Henry Quinn maybe the son of Harry?
Harry was dead by 1946, I know James Doyle lived in 8 Rodney Drive in 1934 so i must look at that year (maybe Before) up to 1946 for Harry Quinn.
Thankyou for looking :)
Colette
-
Hi Jena,
Yes there is a Mrs sarah Murdock listed at 35 Mineral Street.
hope this helps
good luck :)
Good Morning to you Colette,
I wish I had a more up to date street directory, well at least another one besides the 1852 one which I keep borrowing from the library. That would enable me to do more look ups.
Where is Mineral Street ??? The 1852 directory does not show it. Is Mineral Street still in existence or has it been redeveloped ??? Would it be out of the question for me or another RootsChat searcher to go to there and see if anyone knows of the Murdocks ??? There is a lengthy list of Murdocks in the Phone Book for Northern Ireland 2003, several Ms but no Mary.
All the Best, Chris

Gee Thanks Colette,
Your usual rapid service with a smile. That map is interesting although it takes a few seconds to learn how to steer it. I noticed you were off line for a while. Did you take your son to school ???
It is a long time since your directory mentioning the Murdocks was published but nothing beats a try so I will give it a go and take the bus to Belfast then another to Mineral Street to see if we can help Jena.
All the Best, Chris
-
The wee school bus comes for my son, unless the snow is on the ground then it fails to arrive, and i get ready and drive him to school apart from that i just get him up and sorted breakfast etc. I was making a big pot of Stew its been plumping away since 8.30am.
So Chris what are you going to say when you get to 35 Mineral Street
maybe you should check the address in the phone book and ring them first?
before you go get 2 bus'es.
oh and my directory is 1969 ;D

:D Colette,
I know your directory is 1969 :D
I looked at http://www.192.com/search/search.cfm and Murdock is not mentioned. Maybe it is not such a bright idea to go. I have a bus pass so I do not pay to travel on buses. Maybe it would be a better idea for Jena to put an ad in the Belfast Telegraph seeking living relatives. If that does not produce a reply then try calling at Mineral Street.
Chris
-
Yep i think it would be a better Idea than you going to mineral Street i can see you taking at least an hour to get there then no one answers the door
or if they do answer look at you strangely and say no one of that name here.
maybe the Murdocks old neighbours are in the phone book for mineral street? they might know something?
colette
-
Maybe Colette, but you did not mention them did you ???
Could you post the names of some of the other names in the directory and I will see if I can find phone numbers for them. It might be an idea to PM them to me. Chris
-
Hi
-
Hi Coette & Christopher. There was a Mrs Sarah Murdock living at 35 Mineral St in 1984 she was there in 1973.
1949 a John Murdock was living there & he was also there in 1962
Anthony
A,
Go the whole hog :D Call the pair of us C.
C, I hope you have no objection to my taking a liberty in making
this suggestion. It will save wear and tear on our fingers.
C.
-
so i will just call you 2 C&A lol. Talking of C & A do you remember that big store. think it closed about 1985.
Now down to business C did you find any of those names at the addresses i gave you in the phone book?
i checked that 192 directory thing i was a bit lost it was electorial rolls i think but any how i did every name in the street except those i gave you and i only got 1 hit at number 45 might be a good one only 5 doors away. from Murdocks old house.

Hiya Colette,
Would you mind checking your 1969 Directory for Hardcastle Street please ???
I think it is off Ormeau Avenue... opposite the BBC.
Many thanks Colette,
Chris
-
hi chris
Hardcastle Street BT7 1AL
from 76 Bankmore Street to Ashburne Street
and Bankmore street is from 1 Ormeau Road to Dublin Road, So it looks like you hit the nail on the head there Chris.
Where you looking for any particular number or persons name?
colette
-
Hello Antony, I am looking from my grandfather, James Bannister. Do you have him in the 1900 Belfast Street directory or an earlier one? He's very elusive. I wonder why? Thanks, Rosemary

Should be the Short and or Andrews.
Many thanks

Hiya Patricia,
It is great to see people being so friendly. Are you coming to Dublin next year for the RootsChat Meet. ??? It will be a great opportunity to meet people, put faces to names and discuss problems you are having in tracing Irish ancestors. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,148893.0.html
All the Best,

Thanks Christopher for the invite. :D
I am not able to get over the Dublin , much as I would like to. ::)
Look forward to hearing how you all get on :)
Have fun ;)
Patricia ;)

Anthony, when you get a chance, would you mind having a look at your 1852 and 1870 directory for me please for the surname Nutter (not a common one in County Antrim at the time as mainly found in England). In particular, interested to see if a Samuel appears in 1852, and if Thomas or John appear in 1870. Thomas married in c1876 in Shankill district (Trinity CofI).
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Hiya Scotmum,

Thanks for having a look, Anthony. Thanks for your input too, Christopher.

Hi Anthony,
Would you be able to locate any "Eakins" at either Saunders Street (circa 1900-10) or McLeery Street (circa 1910-50s)
Think Saunders Street is no longer, but I understand McLeery St still exists.
Kind regards

Well done, a great idea :D
I would love to find out any info on the Montgomery and Martin names living at 22 Matilda St. Is it possible to tell when they first move there? Should be Hugh and Mary Montgomery then Hugh and Mary Martin.
Thank You for the offer

Hiya Karen,
Your ancestors were not at 22, Matilda Street in 1880.
It should be possible to tell when they moved there to within 12 months as the
information for the directories would be gathered during the preceeding year.
All the Best, Christoper

Hi there everyone ,
This is my first request for a St Directory look up so i'm hoping someone can help. If anyone would have a 1912 street directory and could look and see if there is a James Doyle in the Pound Loney area of Belfast . Some of the Streets are Cullingtree road, Cinnamond st, Milford st , Pound st, there are alot of streets running off these streets so i'm not sure of the rest.Sorry I do'nt have a street, just the area. Many thanks in anticipation of any help received.

Hello Dolores,
Welcome to RootsChat.
Here are the people you should PM for info from the 1912 directory ..
1907 MaryLennon
1910 MaryLennon
1911 Anthony
1918 MaryLennon
1919 MaryLennon
All the info about directories covering the old Province of Ulster
are on the Directories of Belfast and Province of Ulster (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,159321.0.html) thread.

Hello Anthony,
This is my first post on this board as I would really appreciate some help with street directory lookups.
Please could you check who was living at 28 Dock St, Belfast in your 1896 directory - I believe my great-grandparents (Robert Scott and Abigail Irvine) were at that address in 1894.
Also, please could you check your Belfast 1884 directory for who was at 61 Hanna St.
I believe my great-grandmother (Selina McCay) was born there in 1883, but in the 1880 Belfast street directory on Mary Lennon's website, a Mary Jane Cunningham is listed as living there and I don't recognise the name at all.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie
-
Hi Julie. Welcome to Rootschat, yes Robert Scott was living at 28 Dock St in 1896.
Anthony
-
Thanks for your reply, Anthony.
Of course, I forgot the street directories only mention the head of household - correct? Where would I find a record of the other occupants? My great-grandmother, Abigail, was a widow with a few kids when she married Robert Scott. Is there a surviving census for Belfast around 1895-1900?
Also, could you possibly check 61 Hanna St, in 1884 for me.
Thanks very much,
Julie
-
Seasons Greetings Julie,
Welcome to RootsChat
You'd get other householders in the 1901 and 1911 Census. There are not any other censuses for Belfast at the moment. The Ulster Covenant shows people at the same address if they signed it. Dont enter the surname or fore name ... just enter the street name and then click Find if you want to see if there was more than one person in a specific house in a street.

Both the Central Library in Belfast and the Public Record Office have a good
selection of directories. PRONI will be putting a number of their ones online.

Whats happened to Anthony? ???
-
Whats happened to Anthony? ???
I've heard from Anthony that both he and Kate have been banned from the site. I feel it's a bit drastic. They are a vital part of the team that post on the boards covered by the Directories of Belfast and Ulster.
Most of the Directories that Anthony and Kate own cover an extremely important part of the period that many of the Forum members are researching ... ie the early 1800s to 1920. As far as I'm aware Mary Lennon's Look-Ups site does not have the same range of directories covering that particular period in Irish history. The situation will improve when the Public Record Office get some of their collection online but at the moment I don't know when that may occur. Members requiring look ups from the early 1800s to the 1920s are welcome to post on Belfast Forum where I think you'll probably find an old friend and his wife with their directories. I'll be replying to queries on the boards here from the Central Library or from PRONI. I've access to PCs and Directories in both those places.
Christopher
-
:o Banned? what could Anthony and Kate do that is so bad as to warrant a ban?
I think maybe the moderators should maybe let the rest of us know what is happening here?
Im afraid to breath now :'(
Colette

Hi Collette & Christopher.
Templar Knight here or is it, well its not, its Anthony came in by the back Door.
This will get me Banned for life but i can't tell a Lie.
Told Kate that i was on rootschat as Templar Knight she not happy, Kate says I,am not T/Knight am Anthony she says it would be better to be Banned from rootschat than tell a Lie who i am.
I told Kate to say notthing no one will know she says she will, so thats good enough for me.
Kate says if i get back on rootschat it will be as Anthony or not at all.
So rootschat I,am asking can i come back as Anthony.
Good luck everyone
Anthony
-
Hei Man,
Glad to see your post.
All I can say is we all need you. We may have occasional slight differences of opinion but sure that happens in any family and to the majority of us RootsChat is like one big family. I don't understand this banning business. There are some families that used to ban the young ones who married beneath their social status or married a person of a different denomination. The Royal Family banned Fergie and Princess Di but that family are slightly odd anyway. Imagine banning people in public ... families doing such a thing only make an utter laughing stock of themselves by doing that ... the Royal Family only helped strengthen the feelings of a large number of the general public toward the Princess.
Christopher
-
Hi Anthony you are sorely missed. I still dont know why you were banned or what you of all people could have done to warrant such punishment ??? :(
I have only known you to be most helpful curteous and a true gentleman.
God bless you Anthony and Good luck.

Hi Teap78 & Templar Knight and Others!
I think it is a bit strange that I got the e-mail notification for this post as I can see no posting from me here.
Will have to turn it off or shall I add one wee request or two here?? I shall think on it for a bit! ;D
Welcome back, Templar Knight!! Your contributions are invaluable to many of us! Do keep contributing to to Co Antrim/Belfast Rootschat!
Teap78, hope all is well with you and yours! :)

The PRONI directories are back online. The directories on their website consist of original volumes which cover the years 1819 to 1900. PRONI does not have copies of all the street directories that were published before 1852 and even when the main run of the "Belfast and Ulster Street Directory" commences in 1852 there are gaps in the series up to 1900.

HI. I'm a new member. I'm heading to Belfast and wanted to find the street(s) where my dad was born and lived. He was John Joseph O'Neal DOB 1/1/1917, son of John and Mary O'Neal. The address i have is 19 Leoville Street, although the family may have moved to Cuper Street in later years. Thanks Eamonn

Someone enquired about Leoville Street on Belfast Forum a few years ago, but apparently it no longer exists.
If you google 'Cupar Street, rather than Cuper, you should be able to see it on the maps.

Various Feb 16th 1922 newspapers reported:
John O’Neill (40), 19 Leoville Street, bulletwound to arm.
-
March 23rd 1949 papers reported:
Mrs. Mary O'Neal (60). Cupar Street, Belfast, whose body was found in drain at Clermont Park. Dundalk, last Friday, had probably died from exposure was the jury's verdict at inquest at Dundalk.
Some reported her age as 56. Some reported street number as 325.
Apparently she had been missing for about 9 months, having visited Dundalk on a day trip on 20th June.

If you use Google Maps search for Oranmore Street, Belfast. Kashmir St. is parallel and Leoville St. ran between them. Cupar St. is slightly further north (parallel to Kashmir St.) so your family didn't really move too far away.

You will find the street on maps at the link below, though it may require some 'messing around'. For example, I successfully found it by selecting the '6 Inch to 1 Mile County Series Edition 5 (1919 - 1963)' map, then searching for Bantry Street (it can take a while for the maps to resolve, eg. when you zoom in). The alignment of other streets in the vicinity have survived, so you should be able to pin down fairly accurately where it was, on a modern map.
