Hi Anthony and Chris. Chris Raglan Street was of the Falls Road beside st peters.

Thankyou Anthony i worked out that William Hassard was married to Margaret Mulhollands mums sister Ann Jane Oneill and it was their Daughter Agnes Hassard who was witness at the Wedding of John Doyle and Margaret.
Ann Jane Hassard was witness at the Baptism of Margaret Mulholland and im begining to wonder if They Brought her up, she even lived with them after her marriage to john Doyle in 110 Raglan Street thats where their first child william was born and died aged 8 months,

9 Shankill Road…… Margaret Mulholland born here on the 15th of August 1871 her mother was Margaret O’Neill her Father was Michael Mulholland (parents not married)

8 Conway Street….. John Doyle married from here on the 13th of October1894. John was born in Banbridge on the 29th of June 1865 his mother was Margaret Mullan  His Father was William Doyle he had 11 brothers and sisters some of who moved to Belfast

104 Raglan Street….. Margaret Mulholland was married from here

110 Raglan Street….. Margaret and John lived here with Margaret’s aunt Ann Hassard (O’Neill) First child William born here in 1895 died here 1896 age 8 months. Their second child Mary born was here in 1897.

104 Raglan Street….. Third child James born here on the 30th of December 1898

32 Oranmore Street….. 1900 Street directory listed John Doyle

16 Milan Street….. In the Street directory for 1902-1904 I think this may have been where my Grandfathers other brother John was born. (on the 28th of September 1904 a Daughter was born to Margaret and John in the Belfast work house she was baptized on the 4th of October it would seem that she died there on the 16th of march 1905 at12.30pm)

18 Leoville Street...... mY Grandfather Thomas Doyle was born on the 6th of september 1905, his mother Margaret Doyle (Mulholland) Died here on the 16th of October 1908 from General tuberculosis. Buried on the 18th of October 1908 in Milltown Cemetery

130 Cupar Street….. John Doyle remarried a woman Called Elizabeth Hawthorn a widow maiden name O’Neill originally from Bow Street, she may have been related to his first wife Margaret  a cousin maybe? Since Margaret’s mother was O’Neill. ( I lost MY Grt Grandfather John Doyle from here i dont know when or where he died or anything else about him.

66 Sultan Street….. My Grand Father was married from here on the 24th of January 1930 to Charlotte McCann. The Street directory gives head of house as a Joe Mulholland from 1915 -1934 was he related to my grandfather’s mother?

 4 Forest Street….. My Grandmother Charlotte McCann was born here on the 5th of September 1906 her Mother was Mary Lowry her Father was John Patrick McCann.

16 Fort Street…This is where Thomas and Charlotte lived after they married. Almost all of their children were born here including my Mother Gemma Ann in 1934, with the exception of my uncle Peter who was born in Glenavy in 1941 when my Grandmother moved there during the war because Mackie’s foundry was at the bottom of the Street and she was afraid the Germans would bomb

These are all the addresses i have i think.
 Now that will give you Plenty to Chew on  ;D

Doyle, Mullan, Mulholland, O'Neill, McCann, Lowry, Mullen, Forsythe, Magilton, Farnan.  Banbridge Co Down , Belfast Co Antrim and Dungannon Co Tyrone .

oh hell im all mixed up i know that William Hassard was head of house in 110 Raglan Street for a few Years but now i cant work out which and im thinking that margaret must have married out of 102 and not 104 in 1894.
When Margaret died in 1908 my aunt said a widow woman named lizzie used to come and bring some hot meals for my grt granda and the children but there was talk by the neighbours and the priests from Clonard Monastry called and said it was frowned on so the next ya know john married lizzie and they were living at 130 cupar street my aunt said it was a marriage of convenience as they never had any children together???.
I got lizzies details and her first marriage i think i found out more about her and her first husbands family than i did my own.
She was born in 1870 and married a Charles Hawthorne in 1889 they were both 19. he lived at 45 Bow street she lived at 25 Bow Street. She married John Doyle in October 1909
her Dad was John Oneill wonder if he was the brother of Margaret Mulhollands mum Margaret Oneill and her sister Ann Jane Oneill (Hassard).
Sorry im Rambling again

Steve

Steve would you like me to help too? I have an 1852 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster here. I doubt very much that your gggrandfather will appear in Colette's 1969 Directory. Have I missed a message? Colette have you more than one Directory? My Directory has a page full of O'Neills but no Samuel. Do you require any other names from that era? I was at school in Dublin with an O'Neill but suppose he would be too young.

Steve, if you carry on at this rate you could qualify for an Nobel Prize for Peace. It looks as though you are attempting to link families in West Belfast with East Antrim families. May I have a go too please.? Conway Street runs between the Falls Road and the Shankhill Road. In 1852 there was a Samuel Alexander, baker and grocer, with addresses at Ashmore Street, Conway Street. Our Alexanders came from East Antrim so I had not considering looking at the ones nearer to Belfast

Colette, these O'Neills are confusing me. I have received a private message about some more. Mollyrose sent this one -
Hello, I have my G.Parents marriage lines from Sacred Heart Church Belfast  they married 1910 and her name - Catherine O'Neill and the  address given was 22 Glenpark Street, Belfast. Brigid O'Neill was witness (sister possibly )but would like to know if that was the family home. also my G.Father John Butler his address was given as Whiteabbey. the reason for all this is I cant get a hold of  d.o.b. for either.which stops me getting info on their parents. John was killed in action and Catherine gave up her children. so no one to ask about such things.
Yours hopefully. and thank you.    Jo.


All the Best, Chris

Hello all, could someone do a look-up for a Thomas Keenan in 75 Westmoreland Street, Belfast for 1949 please? 

Would be interesting to find possible parents.  Not sure if he would still be there in later indexes.

Thanks in advance.  Regards, TonyR.
