Hi Answer,
Thanks for your interest in my query.
I found an old postcard of Glenada Terrace and it is just right of the streetview on Promenade that you sent in the link. They are pale yellow coloured buildings. They have a very distinctive roofline. The roof and front are the same as the old postcard.
Now I just need to find Hugh and Gertrude HENRY's house number from a city directory in the 1920s.
Thanks again!

An interesting link, aghadowey!
While there I found reference to "Glenada Terrace" (a few lines above 'Glenada House') and after googling it, I found this:
http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/L_ROY_03519.
And this:
Glenada Terrace/ King street
http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/?pc1=BT33
This is also a possibility, wouldn't you say?

Hi,
Thank you for your replies.
Yes, Kingskerswell, in the 1911 census, that is the family I'm looking for: Hugh F. HENRY and his wife Gertrude. After the children left home, Hugh and Gertrude moved to Newcastle.
Yes, Glen-Ada may be the name of a house as you suggested, Aghadowey. Any suggestions on how to find what the street address is? Or is a 1920s (specifically 1927) city directory the best way?
Thank you for your replies.

Down / Glenada, Newcastle: 1927
« on: Saturday 28 May 11 04:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,
A relative, Gertrude HENRY, wife of Hugh F. HENRY, died in 1927 in "Glenada Newcastle" and is buried in Belfast City Cem.
I'd like to find her address in Newcastle prior to her death.
Please excuse me for my ignorance about Co Down. I live in Canada and have only Google maps, etc to find places. But I can't locate Glenada, Newcastle.
Is Glenada a village or suburb of Newcastle?
Which city directory would I use to lookup her address?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
In response to aghadowey's question if I was looking for something in particular. (I'm slow in replying because of the time difference, etc - I live in Canada.)
Yes, I'm looking for the Newcastle Co Down business called "Ulster Plant Hire" owned by Hugh Wallace HENRY in 1946. An old letter said that the office was "facing the side of the City Hall". Thus I'm looking for the City Hall to try and locate his business and hopefully, his residence, etc.
Thank you for your interest!

Thank you, aghadowey and pb3 for your replies.
The Newcastle City Hall I'm looking for is definitely in County Down.
I've Googled it and come up with 51 Main St.
But on Google maps streetview I see only shops and no city hall.
I appreciate any help!

Sorry, the query should have been:
"What was the address for the Newcastle City Hall in 1946?
Thank you.
