Trying to work out what Counties Elmfield Street and Milford Street would be in, or whether the same county. My g-grandfather was married in St Peter's Church, now the Cathedral in Belfast in 1895, and my grandfather was born in Elmfield Street in 1899. Would love to find them in the 1901 census but unable to pin them down at present. Many thanks, Michael McAllister -------------------------------------------------- 433 list members as of 1 Feb 2011.

The county division is in the river. I have a number of maps of Belfast from the period and before on the web at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andyairriess/sets/72157604322031931/ Most maps are at the bottom of the collection, scroll down Click on a thumbnail to make it bigger. To get the full-sized map (some are quite large), click the magnifying glass above right of the image and then click "All Sizes" in the top right of the page that displays. You can then choose the image size you want to see. The "original" size will give you the most detail. Most maps focus on the Sailortown part of Belfast, but you might get lucky. I recently added a 1832 map that, unfortunately, does not have street names, but it is interesting to see the growth of the city. Andy Airriess
