Do you know these people? Belfast, likely Joseph Street.
« on: Sunday 12 February 17 00:15 GMT (UK) »
Okay I know this a long shot but does anyone recognise any of these people?  ;D ;D

I know for sure who one of them is so hopefully that's a good start. 8)

The first photo (maryannhayes1) with the two ladies, the lady on the left is my great grandmother who was called Mary Ann Hayes (nee. Reavy). She was born approx 1878. On April 2nd 1896 she married William Hayes and they went on to have 13 children from 1896 to 1917. Birth records of the children indicate they lived at many addresses like Check St, Rowan St and Adair street but from 1901 all address are various houses in Joseph St in Belfast. Ultimately her death record is at 66 Joseph St in 1956.

On the second photo (maryannhayes2) with the three ladies my great grandmother Mary Ann Hayes is on the right.

I'm guessing these photos are from 1940s or 50s so if you had relatives on Joseph St around this time these could yours :D

Again I know it's a long shot with old photos and seemingly before the invention of supportive undergarments but hey, if anyone can solve this mystery of who the other people are the folks here can  ;D ;D

Good hunting  ;D ;D

Hi JS,

I can't help with your names but I would suggest you also add the pics (separately) to the 'Restoration' Forum as the people on there will make your pics lovely, iron out the creases & if you want they will add some colour & all free  ;D

Lovely pics though!
