Although recent, I have the 1970 Street Directory for Belfast if anyone requires any information just post below and I will get back to you.

Thank you escollay for providing this service.  If you have a moment, could you please let me know who the occupant of 42 Ava Drive, Belfast, was in 1970.

Many thanks,

David

Married in Crossgar RC Church. Daniel residing in Lisburn. One of the witnesses was maybe her sister Mary Craney. Maybe someone can make out the townland residence of Isabella?

Added: Note Daniel Killbride

Only one that comes close is Drumnaconagher also spelt Drumnaconnor*  (between Downpatrick and Ballynahinch).

Dear Celia
I am a novice at tracing my ancestors, but i was wondering if you had any info on my Gt.Grandmother Isabella Craney. She was from Co.Down and I know she married my Gt Grandfather Daniel Gilbride in 1875 in Killyleagh R.C.Church. I am trying to find her mother and fathers names.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Best Regards

Gustav (Isabel)

Her father was Pat Craney a labourer,she was a dressmaker aged 22.
His father was also Daniel a labourer.. Daniel was a policemanaged 30.

The Will is listed under Dublin (probably due to the dispute)-

Heading out, but adding a quick note for now that I think the Sarah of the article was a daughter of Isaac by his first marriage. The will was being disputed by her and other siblings of the first marriage, who alleged their step mum mistreated them and forced their father to alter his will. Some of Isaacs brothers are also brought forward in support of their claims.

Certainly, the article seems to be about the same Isaac who as a widower, married Eliza Jane Ferris. Not seeing either of the disputed wills on PRONI though, but maybe someone else can double check.

That’s exactly what happened scotmum, and the other children had all left the home of Eliza Ferris Ellis by 1910 census. Sad the things that happened then (and still do).

In 1908, John was embroiled as defendant in a court case, brought against him by a widow in her 40s, that he had apparently 'promised to marry and leave his farm etc' to. It seems his sons-in-law had stepped in once John had gone to the registrar and had his and the woman's names 'put up' , to persuade him not to proceed to actual marriage.The court described John as being 80yrs old, whilst the plaintiff had believed him to be 73.

The Lisburn Standard of 17th October 1908, has the full story.

Thanks scotmum. I’ve been away from genealogy for 15 years and a bit rusty.
I believe you helped me find a marriage of a couple from ballinderry who got married in Glasgow.

Do you have a link to the article in the Lisburn newspaper?
There was also a disputed will of an Isaac Ellis who died about 1909 in the area I would love to know the details of, see this link : http://glenavyhistory.com/townlands/townlands-ballinderry-parish/loughrelisk-townland-ballinderry-parish/
