Hi Dave in Canada
Betty's website has been a real source of information about the Anderson's family.  Its been an interesting few weeks piecing together the family tree and where relatives names that I have a very vague memory of fit in.
Any other information from yourself would be most welcome.

Hi
My Grandfather lived in the Shell House in Ballyshannon - his name was Robert George Anderson.
This is a picture of it that I've found.  http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/images/survey_specific/fullsize/40852009_1.jpg

My mum has a picture of me and my sister/s standing outside it when I was little. My Grandfather was a joiner by trade and made coffins and had his own shop in Ballyshannon - I can't find any reference to it so if you have any info on that I would love to hear about it.

Hi
I've just found this chat.  I have just started to research my family tree and this conversation has been extremely useful to it.  I realise this chat was 2011/2013.

For Betty - My mum is the eldest daughter of Robert George Anderson with his 2nd marriage to Sarah Jane Rush.  They married on 17th June 1935 in Hillhall Presbyterian Church.  They had 3 girls who are my mum Margaret and my 2 aunts Evelyn and Jeanette.

On my grandfathers marriage certificate to my granny Sarah, his father Thomas was named on it - does that mean he was still alive at approx 88 or was the grooms fathers name put on the certificate for another reason? There was mention he died in 1903 so wondering why.

Thanks

Hope that helps a wee bit with regard to the Anderson family who moved to Belfast.
