Looking for any info or old photos on 10 Oughtymoyle, Ballerena, Londonderry. Its the Railway Station house where i have a relative living in 1911. I know its still there, but im looking for old photos.
Thanks

The number '10' on census form is the number on that form but not a street number. I know that I've seen old station photos somewhere before- have you tried Google Images, etc.?

Hi
yes, the only ones i can see are of now, its a guest house now and i e mailed the owner who said he was interested in finding some info too, so i told him i would post on here. He says a nearby street is called Oughtymoyle but is too new to have been around in 1911. My relly was the station master, so i presume he was living in the station masters house as its known now..

Hi,
   Oughtymoyle is a townland in the area known as Bellarena. There is no street of that name but a small housing estate was built there between 1950 and 1990 which may be the recent "street" referred to. As a boy in the 1950s I remember the station and assisting the stationmaster by opening and closing the manually operated gates where the railway line crosses the road. Not aware of any photographs but I will have a look and let you know if I find anything.

Regards

Road names only came into existence in 1970s so before that it was just townland names as the address (except in cities and towns).
