Armed Forces / 1901 census Ireland - Army listings
« on: Monday 11 July 11 12:15 BST (UK)  »
I am aware of how the barracks and its occupants are listed by initial only.

However, what I do not understand is why the soldiers all give other occupations such as labourer etc on the census form. Were these jobs within the military establishment as they all lived in the barracks or were they part-time jobs they did.

The soldiers in question were part of a 3rd [Reserve] Battalion.

The poster is looking for a map or photos.

According to this 1910 Belfast directory Mayfair St. was off Oldpark Road.

Thanks Jim,

The article on the Belfast Forum is a mine of information.

I didn't realise the street was part of an area with so much history.

Does anyone have a map of this area [Clifton] from that time , or any photos of the area that they could share with me?

By the look of things it no longer exists.

Any information is great too!
