Hi James and James In the 1852 Belfast Street Directory, Abbotsford Place is listed as at "The lower end of York street" It had 6 properties and the occupiers at that time were: 1. Robert S Lepper, proprietor of cotton spinning mills, New Lodge Road 2. Mrs McDonnell 3. Abraham Bell, ship agent 4. Robert Mackenzie, merchant 5. Samuel Woolsey, flax merchant 6. Edmund Getty, Secretary, Harbour Commissioners In the 1972 Street Directory, houses up to 239, which is at the corner of Trafalgar Street, are standing. Then 241 - 271 York Street is shown as vacant ground. Then there is Earl Street, then numbers 273 - 283, then North Thomas Street. If you go to http://www.belfast.net/mo/belfast.JPG you can see Earl Street and North Thomas Street and a bit of Trafalgar Street, which I think at a time would have run on to York Street opposite Sussex Street. There is no sign of Cherrymount, which sounds like the name of a house or estate - where are your folk buried? would that give a clue to Cherrymount.
