HI there!
Does anyone else have a Devlin or Hart in their tree that came from Belfast in the late 1800s or early 1900. Some of my Hart's moved to montreal in the 1900s but came back to Belfast. It is believed they went over to stay with family members that were already over there. Peter, john, Catherine, Edward are just some of the names that repeat in each generation. Most of them were Carpenters, builders. They have a strong connection with the Devlin family who are also thought to have went over with them. They are Roman Catholic.

The 1911 census suggests that some of my relatives stayed with Catherine Devlin prior to emmigration to Canada in 1917. Do you have further info on the Develin's?

Hey there,
Where does the Catherine Devlin you refer to live? All my folk came from the carrickhill area of belfast. Sorry,the only info i have is on earlier Devlins, Thomas married into my Hart family. He was born around 1840 and had a son francis around 1860s.
