Street/Family look-up
« on: Wednesday 08 June 11 17:56 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out the names of families who lived at 50 Hillcrest Park, Moygashel, Dungannon, from 1960-1998, or even later. Is this even possible?
Many thanks

Recent directories are not online and we aren't allowed to post details of people who might still be alive so if anyone can help they should send you the details offline by PM (Personal Message).

You haven't given your location but there are lots of directories for this period at PRONI and some local studies libraries.

Can you write to the current occupant to see if they can tell you? Enclose a stamped self addressed envelope and maybe they will reply.
I do know the name of the current occupant but I don't know how to pm you.

New members usually need to have 3 posts before they can PM others. Once you've 3 posts you should be able to see a little green scroll under Tricia's name- click on that, type message in box that appears and click on 'send message'.

aghadowey, can you please tell me if there are past directories that can be checked online, say up until the 1930's? Thanks

I don't know of any online directories later than 100 years ago. See Tyrone Resources at top of this board (reply #6).
