Title: henrietta street derry
Post by: tomby on Tuesday 08 November 11 20:18 GMT (UK)

hi all,

I have been trying to find a photograph of Henrietta Street in Derry for some time.  This was the street that my maternal side of the family Elliotts and McCollums originated from.  They and their descendants lived their from early 1830's to 1913 . Henrietta street was demolished between 1974 and 1990.
I would be really interested to know if anyone might know where I might be able to locate a photograph if one exists

many thanks

tomby

 hello there

Many thanks for that.   It was very kind of you to send the link.  It now gives me an image at last of what Henreitta street looked like and where my Elliott ancestor's dwelt

regards
Tomby
