Thanks guys...since the original post I've found out that Sarah Jane died c.1934/35 (she was in her early 80's) and she in fact lived with my grandmother in Sailortown in the last couple of years of her life.  The whole family except one sibling ended up in Belfast in the early 1900's.  Still know precious little about her early life.  Her family may have lived in Milliken's Entry in Antrim Town.  Her father was called Daniel Dogherty and her mother Agnes Boyd.  She had two brothers I know of, Robert (Bob) and Daniel (Dinny), other siblings may have ended up in Canada.

If you have Belfast Directory for 1909 could you look up 22 Earl St and see who was living there and also 144 Nelson St

Thanks

Looking for info on the McAlister's (or McAllister) who lived in Whitla Street, Belfast in 1901.  Possibly in no. 43

Looking for any info on my great-grandmother Sarah Jane Dogherty (note unusual spelling).  She was probably born circa 1855-1860.  Although this variant of the name was prevalent in Cos Donegal and Derry, my father believes she came from around the Antrim Town area and there is some legend of her family being mentioned in "My Lady of The Chimney Corner".  She married an engine driver Cornelius (aka Constantine) McAllister and had 6 children.  I know they lived in Magherafelt in 1890 (according to my grandmother's birth cert) but may have moved around due to the nature of his job.  She died in the mid 1920's in Belfast.
