O'Hanlon of Belfast - help needed

[UKfamilyrecords]

Hi,
    I am still stuck with the O'Hanlon family and was wondering if there was anyone out there who knew someone who could search the parish records of St Patrick's for a small fee. I believe the records are still at the church.

If you know someone or could do it for me please send me a pm.

Regards, Michelle

Good Evening,
I have just found this string of posts and was very surprised. Martha Russell was my dad's sister, I have a very old photograph of her in Portland Street with neighbours Nellie and Rosie Kelly. Martha married Jimmy O'Hanlon. They had a boy called Joseph Christopher O'Hanlon who died at 10 months  old in 1926, and is buried in my grandparents Thomas and Norah Russell's grave in Milltown. THe address given in 1926 is 21 Caroline Street.

I am the youngest child to Martha's brother Robert and am endeavouring to piece together the family history…help.

I know that at one point Jimmy lived around Ardoyne but since my elderly mother's death in 2009 I have lost my greatest source of information. Hope your search has progressed smoothly. Xavvi2754

Hi Xavvi,

I'm interested in the picture from Portland Street that you mention. My wife's family (Kellys) lived in Portland Street during the 1920s and had a children called Rose and Ellen, I wonder if they are the ones pictured with Martha Russell?

Hi I realize this is an old post but just stumbled upon it.  Would really love to chat with Robert O’Hanlon’s youngest child and to confirm his wife’s name.  Cheers

Looks like we made a mistake.   I think we have confused Martha Russell and her brother Robert with Martha O'Hanlon and her brother Robert.

My wife Maria is the only child of Robert O'Hanlon and Alice McNally. For a minute we thought she had discovered a sibling she wasn't aware of

Thanks all

If anyone is still interested in this family, I'd love to chat - I'm the grandson of Joseph O'Hanlon, b. 1912 in Stanhope St - his father James O'Hanlon and Sarah Graham.

I've found out a little bit about the family history, but would love to know more/piece what I know together with those who know other bits.

Thanks!

Are these your gt grandparents in the 1911 Irish census?

That's right, Kiltaglassan.

Believe Ellen to have been conceived out of wedlock (she's baptised Graham).

John Henry was injured, and his younger sibling Eliza killed, in the Weaver Street bomb of 1922. I don't have any further info on him. I think Ellen married James McNeill in 1922.

Believe Ellen to have been conceived out of wedlock (she's baptised Graham).

Correct!
Ellen born illegitimate in 1901.
