Quote from: Elwyn Soutter on Friday 19 December 25 12:17 GMT (UK)
Belfast workhouse admission records have survived and are held in PRONI. (The records themselves are not on-line though indexes are).  You might get a little more from them. They should contain: name, sex, age, marital status, employment, religious denomination, any disabilities, name of spouse, number of children, observations made when admitted, townland/address, date of admission and date of death.

Thanks for this. I followed the advice on this website:

https://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2022/01/proni-releases-index-to-belfasts-poor.html

When I managed to view some images of admission books, they simply showed 'Number in Register', 'Paupers Name' and 'Age'.

The above link also suggests watching a help video, which I'll do. Otherwise, how do I get the information that you suggest is available?

Thanks to you both. I can't find 'Kavanagh' anywhere on lennonwylie. I can find Tavanagh Street though - from 1901 onwards.

It's an odd one generally because the name and exact date of death match with a burial record I have (with other family members shown in the same record) but at the time of death he was married with three children.

Still, mistakes are made.

Another undecipherable address I need help with. Please see attached.

Entry 492 - Robert Kyle. It looks like 20 Kav.......

I can't find anything likely in lennonwylie.

Also, a burial record for, I think, the same man shows he died at "Union Hospital of (sic) Donegal Road". Does that match with "Workhouse Belfast" on the attached?

Thanks.

Yes, I should have spotted that because his father's address was shown as "Charlotte Street" in his marriage registration a year earlier. It just didn't look recognisable.

Thanks.

I have found, on Ancestry, the transcription of a relatives entry in the 1881 Scotland Census.

Is there any way I can actually view the census return, like I can for Ireland on https://census.nationalarchives.ie/

Details given are:

ED   3
Household schedule number 56
Line   21
Roll   cssct1881_206

Thanks.
