Will you accept a celebratory coffee We have got a little bit of good news.

Anthony found Robert Taggart in his 1949 Directory of Belfast.

Robert Taggart Glen Cottages Wolfhill Road, not there in 1962?.

By the way Anthony is keeping well

Hiya Val,

I have sent messages to Colette and Anthony as they are the street directory specialists. Not much I can do now other than search the net but it might be an idea to establish how long Robert James lived in the area and whether the McCormacks also lived in the area.

All the Best,

Chris 

Umm Chris i think Anthony is the specialist he has loads of directories of different Years, Im all fingers and thumbs with my ONE Street directory LOL.

Good morning folks,

How are you this morning Val? The recent messages show there are a couple more Belfast Roots Chatters here to help. We seem to be short of a couple from the Co. Antrim side. Any RootsChat member from the Antrim town, Ballyclare, Donegore area of the county please post a message even if it is just to say "Hello" 

Colette, I wish I had a couple of Street Directories. I borrow the 1852 one from the Library. I have to visit libraries to search through ones for other years. In the 1970s to mid 1980s I used to visit the "War on Want" bookshop in South Belfast (was it Rugby Road?), I wish I had bought street directories in those days, they had several shelves of them. Now days it is extremely difficult to find a second hand directory for sale. Does anyone know if the "War on Want" bookshop in Botanic Avenue has a couple of Directories for sale? I hope someone reads this message and lets me know where a couple of directories are available for sale.

I know the fingers and thumbs problem. Anthony has not mentioned the matter but to the best of my knowledge I think that A. and "the lady of the house" have a couple of spare sets of digits. I imagine the scene when they log on and need to do a look up in a directory..several members of the A. and "lady of the house" household, all fingers and thumbs, searching through directories racing to get their messages posted before you and I post our messages Colette. A. you and your family are doing a great job and we look forward to many more of your messages when your good lady allows you some free time.   

Well I may not have a street directory. However I have frequented one or two popular Belfast hostelries in my time so I have a little book which is most suitable for an experienced imbiber - "Historic  Pubs of Belfast" by Gary Law, published in 2002 by Appletree Press. The publishers are located at The Old Potato Station (isn't that a beautiful name...does anyone know more about the place) in Howard Street South, Belfast.

All the Best, Chris

Hi Jennifer,

I hope Val has no objection to us using her thread for private discussions
I was going to send you a Private Message, then thought others might be interested in the reply to your query.

Where are you Jennifer I only know about libraries in the north of Ireland. The library I visit has a 2002 reprint of the 1852 Directory of Belfast and the Province of Ulster which may be borrowed. Some branch libraries have a current street directory for reference purposes only. Larger libraries or local education and library board headquarters usually have a set of directories covering several years but these tend to be for reference purposes only.

All the Best, Chris

I do not object at all Chris to sharing my wee part of the board, As it is I seem to be all over the place anyway. Half of my stuff is probably in someone elses place as well)
