However, in case the person who is interested in the surname Holland would like to know, there was a William Holland living on Baskin street in 1901. Jane

Jane: On the Ireland census does it give ages? Grandpa Fred Holland who came to USA in 1904 had a brother William Holland who I have been unable to find past his birth date. He was born 1868 and would have been 67 yrs of age in 1901. Have all other family members placed and all but two I know where they are buried. It is thought that Mariann Holland who married John Alexander Morrison and Eliza Jane Holland, sisters, who married Robert Dickson moved to England. Eliza Jane was a widow in 1918 and after her mother died it is said that she went to England. Her sister Margaret Holland lived 45 Compton St. in London when she married Thomas Whiteside who lived at 19 Barton Crescent London. Margaret died less than a year after she married and was brought back to Ireland and buried with her father Joseph Holland. I believe she died in child birth. Am not able as of yet to prove this. Any help you might be able to help me with would be so appreciated.

Hello to all, I've been doing some family research on my McKINSTRY family from Belfast. I've found a few old photos that were taken by the Ashleigh Studio on Royal Avenue in Belfast prior to 1920. I did a "google" search and came up with an Ashleigh Photography at 75 High Street, Bangor, County Down BT20 5BD. They appear to be not far away from belfast on a map. I have 2 questions: Would there be any possibility that if this the same photographer they would keep old records or am I probably wasting time? Would this be uncommon in Ireland? The second question is if anyone knows if they have a website or email address? If not, I can always write and mail. Thanks for any insight you can offer. regards, Joe Hunter Vineland, NJ

Could someone please explain what part of Belfast comes under Co. Down? I am talking of the period up to 1860. Are there any maps that give a clear picture of what is Belfast Antrim and what is Belfast Down? Thankyou Marie

Hi Marie, In November of 2003 we had lots of discussion about this - my great grandfather's USA Naturalization papers said County Down and I had been told he came from Belfast.. The line is east of the river Lagan, which makes it the southeastern most section of Belfast. You may want to check the archives, some people send maps etc. My heat hrandfather was born in 1858 so we are talking the same timeframe. My ancestor came from Ballymaccarrett, I'm not sure if it is an area or a street or both.
