Hello Leslie,
Funny you should mention East Clyde St...I was born and brought up there...no 57.
Moved to Faifley in '62, just prior to the street being demolished.Also remember 'The Bisley Bar'
Leslie, you don't happen to know anything about William and Hannah's families prior to them coming to Ireland? I've hit a bit of a brick wall with this.
Regards,
Tam.

Sorry Leslie James, don't know anything about Eliza Jane Hamilton...was she a sister of William?
If you don't mind me asking...what is your connection with this family?

It is,but I'd say, given the unusual surname, and the time frame, your grandfather is more than likely the sibling of the other 6 you mention. Sorry I can't provide you with any more info, but if anything comes up I will let you know. Good luck.

Hello Michael,

Can't really add to the previous posts.  Except to say, I did come across the marriage of a
Bryan Hughes [ b1842 ] to Mary Deniver [b1842 ] in Cootehill on 17th Nov 1864.
[Tullyvin, by the way, is just outside  Cootehill].
The given name for Mary's father is Daniel. Could this be the one you are looking for ?
There has to be some connection between these people and the one's I was researching,
 and indeed, the one's you are, but I can't seem to find it.
 But given the unusual surname [Deniver / Diniver ] there is surely a link.

Regards,
Tam.

Sorry, don't think there is any connection.

Can confirm it was the same houses. I know this from the number of homes at number11, and also the number of single room homes [single ends ], and the sequence they come in. Thanks again.

Just recently come across this post. I was born and brought up in East Clyde St, formerly 11, Blythswood View. It was just along from Our Holy Redeemer's school [O.H.R.], and just around the corner from O.H.R. chapel, Glasgow Rd. The street was always known locally as 'The View'. I always assumed this was because of the view we had of the docks and the green fields on the other side of the river Clyde. It wasn't until relatively recently that I found out that the street was renamed, and that the 'The View' referred to the old street name. I believe, also, that the area across the river was known as Blythswood, hence the name. We lived there until 1962, and the street was demolished shortly after [1962 or 63].
Incidentally, can anyone tell me how I can access the 1911 census records of 11, Blythswood View? I have tried to do so on the 'Scotland's People' website
but it does  not give access to street searches, only to name searches.
My great grandfather lived there up until his death in 1920, [ he moved there sometime after the 1911 census from 33, John Knox St] and our family lived there up until 1962 as earlier stated.
I am curious to find out if there was just a change of name for the street, or was the original street demolished and rebuilt as East Clyde St, and I hope that if I can access the records for No 11 Blythswood, I would be able to determine if it was the same building from the information provided.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,I will try that link. Although having looked at the map of Donegal I think the previous post from Annraoi may have pinpointed it, as Malin is in the
Inishowen peninsula.
Appreciate both of your help.
