Have just read these notes. There was a Chalmers street in Greenock. It was just off the south side of  Port Glasgow Road below Gibshill. As it was so close the the boundary between Greenock and Port Glasgow some people from the area were buried in Port Glasgow cemetary.

Elwyn Soutter and kingkerswell, please accept my sincere thanks for your help. The information you have provided is greatly appreciated.

From this foundation I hope to backtrack to find out if we are related to another McAliece family who emigrated to Australia during the 1850's.

This family was headed by Robert whose parents were Robert and Nancy ( Maners) McAliece. He was born 1809 in Belfast. He worked as a bleacher in a linen mill.

He married during 1829 to Catherine Crawford in Ballymena.  They settled initially in Broughshane and between 1830 and 1854 they had 11 children the last 2 being born in Lisburn. It was from Lisburn that the whole family emigrated to Australia.

This information has all been obtained from a book 'Beyond The Crested Wave' which was published in 1997 by a descendent of the family.

Sorry for delay in replying.

My great grandfather was Francis McAliece and this is all I know of him.

My grandfather was born on 13th July 1877 and was baptised the same day in St. Peter's Pro-Cathedral Belfast.

He was married on 2nd July 1902 to Sarah McKevitt in St Pauls Church Belfast.

My grandfathers address at that time was 11 Great Egleton Buildings and my grandmother's was 33 Malcomson Street.

When my father was born on 2nd October 1911 their address was 3 Dimmsdale Street

The street names may not be 100% accurate as they have been taken from handwritten documents.

At long last. A picture with Ladyburn Buildings.

St Mungo's School only opened in 1935 and closed in 2005. There are school records, if anyone is interested I may be able to help. Give name and date of birth.

Inchgreen street disappeared about 25 years ago. It was situated between Bogston and Boundary street and between the 'Main' road and the Gourock to Glasgow railway line.There is a plastics factory now on the front of the site and a dual carriageway at the back of the site.
