[runningbear]

i never ever gave up hope pentio, but i did not expect anything like this!! it is amazing!! well done my friend. you have certainly explained everything and even taken the time out to put in the urban numbers, i take my hat off to you.

a lot of hard work has been done there pentio, i had no idea it was a complicated issue!! but it all has been worth it in the end, there is over 1500 views to this thread pentio, so that shows the keen interest that members have had regarding this topic.

i myself came over to Belfast in July and was amazed with the history of Belfast but this just amazes me more!!!

pentio my friend you deserve a big big pat on the back for this work THANK YOU

Hi joe

I'm pleased you are happy with the result.......yes it did take a bit more time than i expected but we got threre in the end.

I was on holiday at the end of August which kept me back a bit my boys wanted to go to Spain for a relaxing week before returning to school.......well sort of relaxing we crammed everything into a week playing golf.... theme parks...swimming etc........phew i need a break myself lol........we all had a great time.

as you say there was a lot of interest in this thread so i am pleased that i was able to help.......i know you are in Scotland which makes things difficult at times when researching the family tree so if i can help you out with any other queries please don't hesiate to ask me......if you need any photos taken etc  i would be happy to do it for you

Belfast as you say has a fascinating history and there is always something new to find..........when i was in the Library in Royal avenue i learnt a wee bit more about the history of some Belfast streets which made very interesting reading.

in the course of my own family research if i discover any more Urban numbers i will add it to my posting above which may help others.

speak to you soon

best wishes

my goodness pentio, i never knew that you managed to fit a wee break in as well!! after reading your posts it is no wonder it took months to research.

i like your kind offer of help, being in Scotland researching Irish genealogy is a bit of a pain, but never mind, i have made some lovely friends through rootschat.

i am very much interested in ligoniel, i would like to know when it was built and how many streets existed in 1880, when i was in ligoniel in July i was told it is now totally different from then to know, if you could help with a little research there i would be delighted, would it be a good idea to have other members post their interests in ligoniel?

that wee bit of history you learned about some Belfast streets may make interesting reading pentio, you may want to share it with others, why not start a thread?

Hi Joe, Pentio & all

Can I suggest that you start a new thread for your new line of research?

It will stop this one getting too long and maybe getting split at some inconvenient point, but it will also allow you to give an appropriate title to the thread & I know that others will be interested to read what you discover, as always.

kind regards, Arranroots

glad to hear you have taken up the challenge pentio, as will many others who have some connection to ligoniel, look forward to your new thread " Belfast street history" ? or street history of Belfast?

can't wait.....

Joe
