Whereabouts of 'Dam Bank' Belfast?
« on: Wednesday 02 May 18 12:26 BST (UK) »
Hi there - I have a certificate from 1871 showing the place of birth as '7 Dam Bank' in Belfast Urban No 9.

Does anybody know where Dam Bank was please? I believe that Limestone Road and Cupar Street were in Urban No 9 and I've scoured the OSNI Historical maps, but can't find Dam Bank anywhere.

Thanks for your help.

Are they on 1901 Census?

You haven't given us a name to search for but lots of online directories are available. Here's one for 1877 but I can't see a 'Dam Bank' in it.

Can you please post a link to the 1871 birth certificate so we can see the way it's written.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Just checking on the off chance Duneane...  :) are you content with your knowledge of the background to this couple - in terms having found their marriage record and other childrens' births etc. - to eliminate the possibility that there would be anything untoward in this registration (eg. a made-up address)?
