Hi Steve. 1896 McFarland's Court, A Few small house's off Wesley St. Wesley St of the Donegall Rd near Sandy Row.

I think it would be the same for 1860

Hi,
    According to 1861 on line Belfast Street directory:
http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/mcomplete1861.htm
Mcfarland's Court was off New Lodge Road and consisted of twelve small houses.
This 1861 map of Belfast shows New Lodge Road, but not McFarland's Court.The twelve small houses were possibly nothing more than basic accomodation before proper houses were built.

Thank you Anthony and Otto

came up trumps yet again

Looks like 18 small house in that area in all ,and one of them must be mine, they could have moved not long after because in 1866 they are in Hydepark area and it is quite away from here

Have found lots of family names in these street so it could be how they all meet in the first place

Thank you both

Steve
