However there were a couple of medium sized flax and cotton mills in Whitehouse, Monkstown, with a very large one in Mossley. Finally, yes, the railway was built through the area, and there was a major junction at Greenisland. The Bleachgreen Viaduct was built around 1840 and was another major junction. See http://www.irrs.ie/0106%20BleachGreen.htm for a map and further information. At the time were were quite a few level crossings, most of which were manned. The railway would have required quite a manpower to keep it running in these days before automation. I don't know exactly what the population would have been, I'd imagine about 1000... Stephen.

Thank you Chris for your time. The 1852 Belfast Newsletter Dir' looks interesting, where would I be able to view it Books Ulster? Is there a web site? I would like to see the McBride's & Best's listed in it. It may answer a couple of my quieries. After leaving North Queen? Issabella moved to Bradbury Rd in Lisburn, though I know that doesn't help me with Joseph the Hosier.

Could anyone tell me - the population of the town of Whiteabbey would have been around 1883 and was there any particular type of work that may have brought people to live there? Would there have been many railway workers there at that time? - were children in that era usually born at home or in a hospital and if a hospital would anyone know the name of the one that would have served the area? Thanks Jackie in Canada

Hi Vicki I too am looking for McBride's from Belfast. Isabella McBride b around 1839 daughter of Joseph McBride a hosier of Belfast.

Sir Charles Gaven Duffy said "There were nearly three hundred delegates in attendance, mostly representative men, carrying the proxies of a district. There were Presbyterian ministers, afterwards to be Moderators of Synods or professors in colleges; farmers who had manned the local societies, and some of whom were to ripen into members of Parliament; priests, destined to be archdeacons and bishops; and nearly a dozen professional men, who afterwards entered the House of Commons or were legislators in some of the great colonies. I have seen deliberative assemblies in free countries from the Thames to the Arno, and from the German to the Pacific Ocean, but I am persuaded that the picked men of the Tenants' Conference would match any of them in practical ability and debating power." "Day by day capable and energetic Presbyterian ministers worked side by side with Catholic priests of the same calibre in perfect harmony and good faith. When difference of opinion, which is inevitable amongst honest and intelligent men, arose, it was never a difference between North and South. " "The feeling of the country at these proceedings was divided between satisfaction at the cordial union of the provinces and alarm. at the startling programme. But satisfaction greatly predominated. The journals friendly to tenant-right were jubilant. 'The Fermanagh Mail', a strictly Protestant journal, circulating in one of the most Orange districts in the North, broke into poetic prose, which represented characteristically the delirium of the hour :--- "It was a grand, an ennobling sight to see the children of the Covenant from the far North, the Elizabethan settlers from the Ards of Ulster, the Cromwellians of the centre, the Normans of the Pale, the Milesians of Connaught, the Danes of Kerry, the sons of Ith from Corea's southern valleys, the followers of Strongbow from Waterford and Wexford, and the Williamites from Fermanagh and Meath-all, all uniting in harmonious concert to struggle for this dear old land." If you are interested in reading the whole then it is at: http://www.from-ireland.net/history/landleagueduffy.htm It's long........... and my apologies to those who receive this mail more than once, I'm sending it to a few mail lists Jane
