Hi
I am trying to find out some information about Samuel Lyttle and Susan Rea. Susan lived in Bangor and Samuel possibly in the Ormeau Road area of Belfast. I think that they were married in July 1919 and may have had a child around 1922?
As yet I have not been able to confirm either date of birth but think that Susan may have been born around 1898?
If anyone can provide any information, it would be appreciated.

There's a Susan Rea in this household in Bangor in 1911-

Thanks for the information provided, it has been very useful. Would you have any dates of birth for either Samuel, Susan, Archibald or Issac?

In view of father's name from marriage this family more likely-
There's a Susan Rea (age 4) in 1901 census with father named Isaac-

And here's the family in 1911 with 14 yr old Susanna-

Hi Deb
Many thanks for your message, yes I am still looking for information in relation to Samuel and Susan. I believe that they may have been married in 1919 in May Street and lived in the Ormeau Road area of Belfast? Do you know if Samuel and Susan had children, possibly a daughter called Elizabeth? If they did do you know any information about Elizabeth, what was her job, where did she live, did she marry and have any children? Do you know if the family had any connections with Bangor Co Down?
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

Could these entries from http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk have any connections
In 1918 Saml., Lyttle, grocer, 14 Lindsay Street runs Ormeau Road to Craigmore Street
In 1943 Elizabeth Lyttle 14 Lindsay Street, also in the street lived two James Lyttle’s one at 27 a lamplighter, the other at No 60 a labourer
Switching entirely to burials https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch I searched for Susan Lyttle I don’t know if the ages are reported in marriages if so that might help check the right Lyttles,. I found an entry for a grave M 112, City Cemetery - Glenalina Extension, it includes
Samuel Lyttle [b ~1884] 83 Yrs buried 15 March 1967
Susan Lyttle [b ~1898] 74 17 March 1972, last address for both 45 North Howard St
there is also a further very young person buried there, whose address was in the lower ormeau rd, so please look up the entry yourself
Hoping this helps your search
