Hello Everyone, I am new to this list. My great aunt Elizabeth Abbott was born in 1874 at the Lying-In Hospital, Donegal Street, Belfast. The address on her birth certificate is 55 North Queen Street, Belfast. Does anyone, with a knowledge of the city, know if 55 North Queen Street still exists, and would it be possible for some kind person with a digital camera to take a photograph of the building for me. I would be very grateful. It would be great to see a house they actually lived in. Many thanks, Anne

Hello, I am interested in finding any information about my CRONE family who may have come from Belfast. J. William Crone, Wesley Crone and Thomas Crone may have emigrated to Ontario, Canada around 1854. I would like to find the vital statistics of Richard Crone, Jane Pierce (parent's names) and their children and their places of birth. In Ontario they lived in Simcoe County and I have a lot of information on the families of Richard Crone's 3 sons. RICHARD CRONE born c1800, Ireland, mar. c1830 in Ireland JANE PIERCE/PRICE, born c1800, Ireland Children: J. William Crone born c1830, Co. Andrim, Ireland (possibly James or John William Crone) Wesley Crone born 1838-39, Belfast, Ireland Thomas Crone born 25 December 1837, Co. Antrim, Ireland. According to the 1901 census he immigrated to Canada in 1854. Thank you. Regards, Kathy Baker Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Emerald Ancestors now have the Will Index(1858 to 1916) on their site. After finding the right person (if he or she made a will), for £4 they will send you the entry in the index as an attachment. Even these entries can be useful, as it gives the exact date of death and the names of the person to whom Probate was granted.

If you go to; http://www.ancestryireland.com/database.php you can search for Wills - if you are a UHF member. You can obtain copies of many wills at PRONI, see; http://www.proni.gov.uk/ then http://www.proni.gov.uk/records/wills.htm It is not easy to access these without being in Belfast! Others may wish to offer ideas on how else to best tackle this issue. I've spent 3 days at PRONI and found it very hard work.

Is there anyone on the list that lives close to the Belfast City cemetery? I am looking for someone that may be able to obtain records for me for two family members that are buried there. I am interested in any information that can be obtained through the Records Office, for example, who is buried in the family plot etc. I have mailed several requests to the City Cemetery but have received no reply. I live in the US and obtaining these records has been difficult. I have copies of the death/burial records that I obtained through searches on Ancestry Ireland. I am looking for a hardcopy of whatever records are housed in the Records Offices. Any suggestions? Eireann

Hello Heather, I am sorry that you are having difficulty reading the PDF file. I have just tried it on my computer and it is OK. All I can think of is that perhaps you need to download an update for Adobe Acrobat Reader. I recently downloaded an update. I hope this is helpful to you. Kind Regards. Jean in Sunny Staffordshire.

Could some one tell me if there is a web site to search for, or look at, wills. This would be in the Northern Ireland region and for the 1840's. Many thanks Ian McEachern Western Australia
