Hi there....
First, can anyone give me a general location of where Symons Street is/was??? I'm assuming it is in East Belfast, possibly Newtonards/Castlereagh Rd area but not sure.
Secondly, Have found that according to the 1911 Belfast Census, there was an Elizabeth J. Wilkinson, 60 yrs...had 12 children, 8 living at the time of the census residing here. Also listed was daughter Letitia, 25 yrs...son Charles B. 17yrs, son in law John ?? 33 yrs, b. Scotland married 7 yrs with 4 children, and grandson John 5 yrs, b. Scotland. all residing 12 Symons Street
1912 at the signing of the Ulster covenant, Elizabeth J. , Letitia and Charles Wilkinson signed the Covenant at 10 Symons street.
1919 when Charles Bones Wilkinson married, listed his father as John Wilkinson shoemaker, deceased and address of 10 Symons Street.
Is anyone familiar with this family.... ?
All the Best
Wendy

Hi Colette....
Thanks for the lookup.....that's probably my man!!! as he listed his occupation on his marriage cert to my Susanna Close as an Engineer in 1919....ahhh, now the hunt really begins.....good possibilty some of his family may still be in the area....I know that the Close's still live in the same vicinity as they did in 1866!
Thanks so much....
All the Best
Wendy
