Only head of household will appear in directories so it may not be possible to narrow down the date any more than you have already.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I know, but if I can see who was in the house in say 1914 I can work out if it was her house or her mother's house ( catherine ryder gillespie). Her mother's death certificate gives 135 vernon street as place of residence. I am trying to trace her mother's movement from 1901- 1911 and am drawing blanks. Vernon street is my only lead as no mention in 1911 census but she was alive then. I have her in the 1901 census. So if anyone has a 1914 street directory could you check who was at 135 vernon street belfast.

Thanks for the help. I got the answer on the Belfastforum.co.uk  Mary moved in to 135 vernon street between 1914-1918. ( The family in the 1911 census was still there in 1914). I don't suppose anyone has a 1916 directory as I can really narrow it down ?
