Title: Belfast Directories
Post by: Butlerclan on Sunday 17 June 12 16:38 BST (UK)
A few years ago a very helpful member of Rootschat sent me copies from his Directories of Belfast.   At the time I was looking for my Bradshaws.    I saved these on my old computer, but now I have to start again but this time I am interested in the families of Nesbitt and Butler who lived in Ghent St. Walton St and Disraeli St.    The time period of 1874/5 if possible.

Can you please help again.

It may well have been the thread, but I can't actually remember.  Whoever the helpful person was they actually e-mailed all the Directory pages to me and of course I no longer have that information.    At the time I was very grateful for all their trouble,  but couldn't actually identify my Bradshaws as I hadn't got back far enough.  I think now that the Bradshaws lived prior to 1901 in Belfast city centre.
