Title: Mary Lucinda Sweeney
Post by: Snudge21 on Thursday 18 May 17 16:44 BST (UK)
I am trying to find a birth record for a Mary Lucinda Sweeney born about 1875 in Belfast to Joseph Sweeney, a riveter then later a boilermaker, (sometimes spelt Sweeny or Swenny) and Esther Cowan. Her parents married on 29th March 1875 in Belfast. She married Robert Dickson, a seaman, on 8th September 1897 in Belfast and they had three children James (15th July 1899), Joseph (20 August 1901) and Mary Lucinda (31 December 1903 - 26th June 1905). Mary Lucinda's residence was given as 16 Earl Street on the marriage certificate. The family are living at 51 Dagmar Street Belfast in 1911 but as to their whereabouts in 1901 I do not know.

This looks like Mary Cowan, daughter of Esther Cowan on the same street as Thomas Sweeney

The 1899 address was 58 Hartley St
for some reason it does not seem to have been enumerated
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Court_Ward/Hartley_Street/

however house and building return shows him there

Strange none of the Names listed for Hartley St on the census tally with the house and building returns
