There's no such street listed in 1901 directory for Belfast-

Checked 1901 census and there's no Bowling Street listed in any county- if you have names of people you can try checking 1901 and 1911 census by name-

Perhaps check and see if your friend has the name wrong.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Best guess
In 1861 onwards or earlier there was a Downing Street see http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/dcomplete1861.htm
DOWNING STREET  off Shankill Street
Mrs. Neill, cottage
twelve small houses
