Hi Anthony,

I just couldn't remember whereabouts the Library's situated.  Am I right in saying that it's facing the Belfast City Centre on the corner?

Regards, Matty.

P.S. I think you've got more than enough to do at the mo!    I wouldn't expect you to go to the library for me unless you were going for yourself.   Your constant support via RootsChat is just fine!!  ;D

Lousia, thanks for your input.

Where abouts in Belfast are such papers held?

Samuel GELSTON- last known address -15 Dayton St, Belfast.

It has been suggested that my great grandfather (Samuel Gelston) died at work from an accident in or around 1898.  Samuel is down as a Labourer on all documents I have of him. 
Where would I search to find out if he did die at work?  I don't know where he worked or what kind of work he did.   It has also been suggested that he and his wife Maggie separated, hence no record of his death at the Dublin Office or the GRO in Belfast.

Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Matty.

Have you tried typing 'Jean McCarthy' into the Google search?  Jean's website is purely dedicated to the MOORE's of Ireland and Canada.

Good luck.

Is there a generous soul that could possibly check the 1901 census for 15, Dayton Street in Belfast to see if a Samuel GELSTON was living there?
Also could you check if a Margaret GELSTON was living at 22 Richmond Street or Square around 1904/5?

Any information on either of the above would be a great help!!

Thanks  - Matty.

I know the feeling!  I write down what I think will be of use as soon as I see it.  (Thanks to the kind people of this chat room).  There's just soooo much to research and too much distance to do it!
