It was Carrickfergus in 1901- see earlier posts from other thread (I've merged the two threads now).

Her husband John Kerr and children show on the 1911 census in Matchett Street, Belfast living with his brother and sister, William and Maggie. I'm not sure when they moved to Belfast. I'm not even sure when John Kerr died.

Spent a lovely afternoon at PRONI and was able to find the marriage certificate of Margaret McNinch Kerr nee Hay's parents, so I'm looking for any further information on this connection.
William Hay of Bella Hill (Carrickfergus) father Alexander Hay (labourer), married Jane Wisnom of Loughmourne (outside Carrickfergus) father John Wisnom (Farmer).
Hope someone can help me.....
