Dear Rootschat, does anyone have any information on Robert James Hillis, my Grandfather, on my mothers side - (lived in Ardoyne and Westmoreland St. and 25 Parkgate Gardens, Belfast (Connswater). (May also have lived or stayed a short time in Magheralynn and/or Donaghcloney. He was a riviter at Harland and Wolff and he married Elizabeth Crawford and had 2 sons, Herbert (herbie) and Robert james (Bobby), and 5 daughters, Daisy, Violet, Meta, Elizabeth (Lily)(born 10 Jan 1919 at Westmoreland Street or McIvor Place, Belfast) and Ruby.
I attach 2 photos - 1. Robert James (snr) and 2. Elizabeth Hillis (born Crawford).
Any help or advice would be most welcome and greatfully appreciated.
Kindest regards from the Emerald Isle,
BarneyElf.
