You need to search under 'Corporation' (don't ask me why, though). Primrose Street 1910 to 1921, for example, is in book Reference: VAL/12/B/10/7B (1910 - 1921), starting at page 93.

On a quick scan through, I can see a 'Susan Flynn', at map ref 28c, local number 34, from what looks to be 1914, which looks to have changed to another person in 1916 (and someone before Susan too, albeit not James).

There may be other Flynn entries I've missed.

Susan Flynn at #14 in 1921-1931 book  :)

Think it means those houses were knocked down around 1914

I think the name on the 1911 census was wrong so i am fairly certain it was susan flynn and not finn [she couldnt read and write] According to the census she was married for 10 years so a date of approx 1901 for the marriage and she had 3 children born only two alive by 1911 census. Just the mystery as to why the two children were born in scotland and then returned to armagh. She was born in Co leitrim.
I managed to find two children james and john flynn born in 1903 and 1906 in bonhill [near loch lomond] registration district [civil registration of birth] but no catholic records

It wasn't uncommon to find people moving back and forth between Scotland and Ireland (especially eastern counties of Ulster). Scottish birth certificates list date and place of parents' marriage and Scottish marriages list names of both sets of parents...

Bonhill district shows 2 marriages for James Flynn- 1 in 1898 and other in 1901- still just speculation.

Wonder if that James Flynn born 1903 Bonhill was born 1 August 1903?
