Same Lennon Wylie website, in the 1912 street directory, there is the following entry for Chemical Street:

Re-marries as widower Mary Donnan, widow, in 1914 in St Matthew's, Ballymacarrett- both addresses Hudderson's Place. Might her first husband be William Donnan d. Chemical St 1909?


This is a possibility in 1901 (note the various birthplaces):
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Down/Pottinger/Chemical_Street/1216432/

I think this could be William junior's birth, registered as William Joseph Donnell:

Bingo! Here's Francis' birth, registered as Donnelly, but the address seals the deal:

Following on from the Cork lead and the looseness over William's surname, this has to be a possible marriage (the bride's father's forename is consistent with the 1914 marriage):

I haven't searched for the Cork births yet (ie. for James and Michael in that 1901 census return).

Birth for James under 'Donnell'?

The following birth of a Minnie Donnan to James Donnan and Sarah McGladdery brings it all together (note the address and the informant):

Several local newspapers in March 1922 carried the following story:
A bomb was thrown about Seaforde Street on Saturday night and exploded at the corner of Huddleston Place.  It was not heavily charged, however, and only claimed one victim, a married woman named Minnie Donnan, aged 60, belonging to Huddleston Place.  She received injuries from bomb splinters in the right arm and leg and was detained at the Mater Hospital after treatment.

Then this story in February 1923, which relates to the same incident:
Mary Wont, Huddleston Place, Seaforde Street, claimed £1,000 for personal injuries, caused by a bomb thrown by a crowd near Seaforde Street.  She was also wounded by a bullet.  Mr. McSparran (instructed by Messrs. Donnelly & Co.) was for the applicant, who was awarded £105.

Edited to add:

Again from a local newspaper, in June 1938:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that FRANK WANTTEN, of 66, Sheriff Street, Belfast, is applying to the Home Secretary for Naturalization, and that any person who knows any reason why Naturalization should not be granted should send a Written and Signed Statement of the facts to the Under-Secretary of State, Home Office, S.W.1.

(Not sure what was behind this, but a possible motivation to regularise his position in the UK might have been due to the tension and high expectation of war with Germany (the May Crisis))
