Hello listers, Your help would be greatly appreciated, if you could give me information on William Henry Walker Edgar and his wife Elizabeth M. Edgar. They lived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. William died in 1939 aged 64 and Elizabeth died in 1954 aged 73. History has it that they were second or third cousins. I would like to know when and where they were married. Their first child was born 1902-1903. That probably would help with the marriage date. Information on this line would help me decide if this is the direction I should go. Thanking you in anticipation. Joan. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Joan, I'm sorry. I have no modern information about Belfast and my interest is chiefly in helping people with ancestral research in the past. I left Ulster over 50 years ago and don't have any modern directories. These should be available at major libraries or the LDS library. The Belfast gravestone inscriptions would help if you knew which graveyard they were buried. The Ulster Historical Foundation in Belfast have a web site and have published a paperback series of the gravestone inscriptions of Ulster. They also undertake genealogical reserach. The Registrar's Office should be able to send you copies of births, marriages and deaths but you need to know the year. If it is of any help the 1843 Directory for Belfast lists five Edgars: EDGAR Rev. John, D.D.,1 Alfred St. Samuel, Haberdasher and Woolendraper, 6 Ann St. Isaac, Boarding House, 20 Hamilton Place Edgar, Trowser-maker, 14 Castle Place (This is how it was spelled). I think there is a good chance these are related in some way. Good luck !
