Hi my Great and great great grandmothers lived at 26 Spruce Street.  The street was demolished and the area redeveloped in the 1970's.  My great grandmothers sister lived on Spruce Street as well and she married a John Madden.  Her maiden name was Ida Beattie.  They lived at 27 Spruce Street.

This is an old topic for directory lookups and the person originally offering lookups hasn't been online since 2012 so it would be best to let us know what we can help you with on the other thread-

HI. I'm a  new member. I'm heading to Belfast and wanted to find the street(s) where my dad was born and lived. He was John Joseph O'Neal DOB 1/1/1917, son of John and Mary O'Neal. The address i have is 19 Leoville Street, although the family may have moved to Cuper Street in later years. Thanks Eamonn

Someone enquired about Leoville Street on Belfast Forum a few years ago, but apparently it no longer exists.

If you google 'Cupar Street, rather than Cuper, you should be able to see it on the maps.

Various Feb 16th 1922 newspapers reported:

John O’Neill (40), 19 Leoville Street, bulletwound to arm.

March 23rd 1949 papers reported:

Mrs. Mary O'Neal (60). Cupar Street, Belfast, whose body was found in drain at Clermont Park. Dundalk, last Friday, had probably died from exposure was the jury's verdict at inquest at Dundalk.

Some reported her age as 56. Some reported street number as 325.

Apparently she had been missing for about 9 months, having visited Dundalk on a day trip on 20th June.

If you use Google Maps search for Oranmore Street, Belfast. Kashmir St. is parallel and Leoville St. ran between them. Cupar St. is slightly further north (parallel to Kashmir St.) so your family didn't really move too far away.
