Urban no 3.     Pleaseeeeee
Does anyone know if there was a Salvation Army home for unmarried mothers in urban 3 in 1930s? I now know urban 3 includes Lower Oldpark.
Thanks to anyone who reads this and can help.

Found Duncairn Avenue is in urban3. The place I was looking for was Thorndale House. Does anyone know anything about this place?

Hi

Just returned from Belfast records office ( to order marraige cert )  we also were having problems with urban numbers, we asked the the staff if he could explain urban numbers his explination was eg. urban 7  is now BT7  ie : a Belfast postcode .

Personally it seems too simple but this is what we were told
So hope this helps your search  - good luck

Does seem too simple - and is clearly wrong

Even looking at the last few examples in this post:-

Duncairn Avenue - Urban 3 - postcode BT14
Seaforde St - Urban 11/16 - postcode BT5

Belfast Urban 7 (according to the notice on the wall at the General Registrar's Office) is the Greencastle/Whitewell area (postcode BT36) - BT7 is the University area (Belfast Urban 6).
