Hardsocks,

May I take you up on your very kind offer of look ups in the 1954 Belfast Street Directory please?

I am interested to know if there was a Mitchell family at 30 Mountcollyer Rd, Belfast -- and also if there was anyone named Wilson living on that same road please.

If this is too much of an ask -- don't worry I won't be offended if you say so.

Many thanks.

Oh my goodness - I have just seen your additions.
I had actually found the cemetery entry from the Antrim resources section - that is how I obtained the address of who we thought MAY be Mary Alderdice Wilson (nee Mitchell) 's father.

The Will details -- absolute bonus!! Looks like James WAS her father.
I can't tell you how thrilled and grateful I am (I do get really excited about such things - might have to go and lie down!)

Thank you so very much.
