where is urban number 7

[t_creaney]

Joe.... yes the urban numbers only apply to Belfast. I have a few certificates from the Limestone Road area all as Urban No 2. Absolutely nothing similar outside Belfast that I can see.

that's amazing terry, isn't it?, that urban numbers only applied to Belfast!!! well it is good news for those researching outwith Belfast but a definite thorn in the side for those researching births in Belfast, thanks for that pal.

One point struck me in the later post's,my problem urban No's were in the Repuplic,one started in District No 1,was later moved (?) to No2,from Waterford to a place called Athy!
I have a birth cert;copy,street name,no number,found street, and checked names there.
Found no trace of my people,cant find original birth cert;record.I'm in a barbed wire canoe minus flamin' paddle!
As said,take ration's.

Hiya Goggy,

Rations? Why do you need rations? It all depends where you do your research. The Linenhall Library in Belfast has a Coffee Shop. PRONI has a Restaurant and Dublin City Library and Archive has a Reader's Cafe. When you visit these places you are requested to leave your canoe and paddle in either the river Lagan (if you are in Belfast) or the river Liffey (if you are in Dublin). A word of warning about the Dublin City Library and Archive ... ball point pens are not permitted .. pencils and laptops are OK. They supply pencils but if you require a laptop you need to take your own one with you.

wow, my friend, i wonder if any rootschatters have an answer?

[goggy]

Christopher,a very good evening to you!
Thank's for that info,the Liffey would be my choice,closer to the Guiness outlet isn't it?And that Cockle's and Mussell's Lady?
Seriously,If only Icould get over there it's a nap that my return home would be very,very,questionable!
With an Irish Mother,rellie's to winkle out,tale's and tune's to listen to,ahh,the leavin' of it all doesn't bear thinking about.
               Be well.
                     Goggy.

joebhoy.
I did a while ago get into a site that gave a recap of the rego district's old.and new number's,which is now long forgotten! But have a hunt yourself,keep nagging away at "Google"or whatever,time+patience and rootschat combined will get you the answer's.

Hi Joe

I have made lots of inquiries for you re this Urban number thing still waiting for some replies......the most logical answer so far would seem to be ....the areas were divided into grids for ease of administration simple as that ....will keep you informed of any further developments.

pentio.
