I think Joseph Street was north of Shankill Road?

Between Hopeton Street and Malvern Street and off Shankill Road.

Alfred went back to Dublin (he obtained his B.A. from Trinity College in 1879, according to Crockford's Clerical Directory. 1932.) and Mrs. Mitchell is at 2 Connaught Terrace in 1880.
