Alfred went back to Dublin (he obtained his B.A. from Trinity College in 1879, according to Crockford's Clerical Directory. 1932.) and Mrs. Mitchell is at 2 Connaught Terrace in 1880.

If the property was in Alfred's name in 1877 would this mean that Robert had already died and Alfred was the 'man of the house'?

Perfect, Kiltaglassan. Does this map cover Rainey Stree?

Another possibility, Mr. Mitchell at 23 Joseph Street and Mrs. Mitchell at 49 same street in 1880.

I think Joseph Street was north of Shankill Road?

In 1880 Hugh Maguire (of Maguire & Edwards) is at Wandsworth Villas, Belmont Park and Mrs. Mitchell is at 2 Connaught Terrace.

1884 Mrs Mitchell gone, I don't think one is listed at all.

Just found Sophia SYYRT born 3 March 1787 and baptised 18 Mar 1787 at St George Hanover Square, parents Robert and Mary.

So Louisa and Sophia would be sisters.
