Help with Belfast street name COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 14 September 17 18:22 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I've tried this before & it didn't take.

Can anyone tell me the name of the street in the scan. I know it ends with 'collyer', but the beginning is tough. It looks like 'Sleen' or something similar, yet there are no streets with a similar name that I can find in the Belfast street directories at PRONI.
The death registration district is Belfast Urban 2
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Wow! hanes teulu, thank you very much for that great discovery & thanks Rattus. I thought the first letter was an "S". Now I even know where my cousin is buried.
