Hello I am new to the List and would be grateful for help. I am writing a book on the Darragh Family from Lurgan for a Family Reunion. I have a photograph of a young man which taken by A.G. Massey, "Royal Ulster" 35 High Street, Belfast. Witten on the back is the word "Darragh". The Darraghs who came to Australia were John Darragh, convict on "Archduke Charles" 1812, tried at Antrim 1809, and his son Felix who arrived in 1841 with his family. Could anyone kindly supply the time frame that this photographer would have been in business, so that I can try an identify the young man. I have tried to find information on "Google"but no luck. Kind regards Joanne WYEE NSW Australia

Ruth Sloan lived at 93 University Rd, Belfast Ireland cir. 1841. I am just taking a chance that someone may know more about her. My data comes from an inscription in a book about Dr. Henry Cooke which was sent to my ancestor in Canada.

Can anyone steer in the right direction to find any old maps of Belfast from later 1700's > late 1800's ? I am trying to find & work out how close that Leadbetter st,Kent St,Old Lodge Rd,Walnut Place ,May St & Millfield St, were to each other. Also interested to see how close St Patricks Church in Donnegal St was to any of these other Streets. Also wondering have all these old Streets & areas of Belfast been upgraded to the extent that none of the older buildings are left ? Hoping someone can help. Many Thanks Colleen South Australia cdunk@ozemail.com.au

Hi Colleen Leadbetter St ran off Old Lodge Road... walk down the road a few hundred yards to the end and you're only seconds from Kent Street and Donegall Street and close to Millfield. May St though is further away across the town maybe 15-20 mins (depends how fast you can walk) Walnut St would be further away again over by Donegall Pass If you google "Donegall Street Belfast" for the current map you'll find it Kent St and find May St further SE and also find Walnut Street. The area of the Old Lodge Road has been complete redeveloped several times and would bear no resemblance to what it was.

Hello all. I have recently discovered my grandfather John Alexander PAGE born 1883 to parents Joseph Page and Margaret Patterson around Belfast had a brother named William PAGE born Mar 1 1881. I have Joseph, Margaret, William and John on the 1901 census living on Hazelfield St and have found on the 1911 census they are not at that address but they were in 1907 (as per directory) and were on Hazelfield on the Ulster Cov. I did find (with help) that William married Dec 31 1905 to an Isabella MOORE at Albert St Pres Church Parish Shankill. This was on Emerald but no parents names are listed and she and their children were living in 1911 on Brookmount St. Isabella was 32 married 5 years 3 born 3 living and was shown as married but was the head of household and signed as such. William age 2 born Belfast and twins Maggie and Isabella both 7 months. Wonder where William Sr was, perhaps at work. He was a mill mechanic. Does anyone have grandparents William Page born about 1909 and twins Maggie and Isabella born 1910. I have no information on Isabella Moore. Any leads appreciated. Jackie (Toronto, Ont, Canada)

Iam surprised at the number of folk who have emailed me about Irish folk music, A few years ago my wife and i visited Frank Lennon's mother in Castlewellan, Frank Lennon has about the finest midi file website on the internet, he has given me permission to put some of his midis on my website,so the midi file section of my website has a good selection of Irish Midis, with a link to Franks website, a must for lovers of Irish tunes.

Hi All I am researching a Robert CARLILE born 12 Apr 1797 at Ballymaconaghy, Belfast. He is buried at Castlereagh Presbyterian Church Cemetery. I would really like to go one step further and trace his parents. Does anyone know if it is at all possible to purchase copies of any of the Belfast Parish Registers? I am located in Australia and would love it if I could buy a copy of the Castlereagh Parish Registers and surrounding areas on microfiche or cd.
