HI. I'm a  new member. I'm heading to Belfast and wanted to find the street(s) where my dad was born and lived. He was John Joseph O'Neal DOB 1/1/1917, son of John and Mary O'Neal. The address i have is 19 Leoville Street, although the family may have moved to Cuper Street in later years. Thanks Eamonn


Before it was redeveloped, looking towards Leoville Street from Bantry Street (reply #175):

You will find the street on maps at the link below, though it may require some 'messing around'.  For example, I successfully found it by selecting the '6 Inch to 1 Mile County Series Edition 5 (1919 - 1963)' map, then searching for Bantry Street (it can take a while for the maps to resolve, eg. when you zoom in).  The alignment of other streets in the vicinity have survived, so you should be able to pin down fairly accurately where it was, on a modern map.
