Many thanks for the replies to my post, Elizabeth Teresa was indeed the daughter of my GG grandparents they also had sons Joseph Jeremiah and Hugh. They were definately married at St. Patricks Church and at some time moved to Hull, East Yorks.  Thanks again for your help

Would love to get any info on Mary Hughes think she was born in the Antrim area (possibly Belfast) in around 1840 she married my great great grandfather Hugh Mechen (Irish variant Meighan) at St. Patricks Church Belfast and I believe they lived in Pilot Street Belfast.

Hi Wendy,   Sorry cant help with the names you mentioned. I do`nt know if you live in Hull but I can place three cemeteries in the wincolmlee area:-  At the junction of Bankside & Air Street there is a cemetry which was part of St. Marys Church, this church was demolished many years ago and a new one was built on Sculcoates Lane (probably about half a mile away) however the cemetry is still there. Along Sculcoates lane the are two cemeteries immediately opposite each other, we actually found my wifes great grandparents grave in the cemetery on the right hand side of the road. These cemeteries are obviously very old and overgrown. The only other one that I know in that area is at St. Johns in Clough Road. hope this is of help regards Kenmeeks

Hi Wendy
Your post about Fountain Rd.(no s on Fountain) brought back memories for me I lived on this road during the whole of the 1950s. Fountain Road was off Beverley Rd. if you walkied on the left-hand side for about 400 yards Cottingham drain ran under the road the terrace at the side of the drain was called Wainfleet terrace this consisted of probably 30 or 40 houses after which there was an alleyway which led to the next street which was Seaton Street. After the houses was Abbey Crecent so you would walk straight down Wainfleet Terrace and the you would find Abbey Crescent.
None of the houses are there now as the whole area has been re-developed. Hope this is of help to you, regards kenmeeks

Many thanks to Carol & Pauline I have managed to get an old map of Hull and now know exactly where Union Square was.  My great grandparents lived there in the 1800s, sadly all the addresses where ancestors lived are no longer there.
