Hi. I have a Nixon Graham in my 1949 Belfast Street Directory 39 University St Belfast, hope this is of some help to you.
Good night & God bless
Anthony
Oops I didn't see your reply ( I was pressing the RE on the main forum index when I saw someone had replied. so I went straight to the post below yours and didn't glance up the thread a bit. I thought Christopher's was the first reply after my own post) -I hope you didn't think I was being rude. my mind is racing here with all this info.
Thank you so much for looking Anthony, and for that info
P.S.
I'm really going to have phone my mum on this, and see if her granddad Nixon was still alive when she left Ireland , and does she know where he lived if he was still alive in 1949 - but she was a young child in the 40's so has limited memories for that era ( funny that photo I have also has a Belfast studio name on it too - perhaps they "Nixon" lived in Belfast later on) My granddads family Nixon's fathers lot ,the Grahams came from Ballymoney at some point and granddad and parents moved to Ballymena . My mum was born and grew up in Ballymena. But the photo I have of them, my grandad's parents Nixon Graham and Susan ( middle name Elizabeth) Boyd in 1930 has a Belfast studio/photographers address on it. which is " Ashleigh studios. 110 to 112 Royal Avenue Belfast"
Trouble with my mum, when she wrote down the tree she was more interested in her mum's side, and gran used to chat and chat about her family. I was always asking my mum to sit down with gran and and write everything out, no matter what , you don't have to put it in order/tidy tree - I'll sort it out.
My gran is dead now , so only have my mum's memories . Granddad died quite a few years ago, and was always talking about his army stories ( I have a photo's of him all over the world in the army. He spent his life in the army, it was career), bless him
.
when I first met my hubby, before I took him to see my grandparents - I said for Christ's sake (pardon the pun) don't mention the war, army etc to my granddad when you meet him. Hubby being hubby lol
( wicked sense of humour) of course mentioned the war because I told him not to - hours and hours, and hours later !! I did take pity on him in the end and rescue him from Granddad ( after I was killing my self laughing, and I would not rescue him for hours) lol ( I did warn hubby .. but no did he listen to me lol ) .
I miss my granddad to this day and wish I had taken more notice of what he said about the "boring" stuff ( well, It was boring to me when I was kid) , I was more interested in his fairytales about witches, and children's stories he used to tell me when I was a child at the time.
Thanks again for looking that up, it could very well be him in Belfast . Or if it turns out not be not him in Belfast , at least I know there are two definite Nixon's around Antrim which is a great help
