Just begining to  trace my mohters, fathers family, the Orr's from Belfast. My mothters father, James Orr from Belfast (married Eileen Robinson Dublin 1925?) they had a daughter Muriel born 1935, my mother. My grandfather James had a brother William, (known to me as a child as  uncle Billy) died January 1980, was married to sarah, they had a daughter, Philomina. I think Philomina's married name was McAllister. A cousin of my mothers emigrated to canada early 1970's, do not know his/her name, but he/she had a daughter called Coleen. I think they emigrated to Toronto? Phiolmina would be around the same age as my mother, had she lived (died 1976).  I am sure there are extended family still in Belfast. Last contact was with Uncle Billy, in 1978/1979. Any information would be great!!!!

I am just starting out today to try and trace my Mothers, fathers family. My mothers father, my grandfather was James Orr from Belfast. He married my grandmother Eileen Robinson I think from Dublin. He died in dublin November 1960. They had my mother Muriel born 1935, married Dublin 1957 to Brendan Homan my father, she died in 1976 Dublin .My grandgfather had a brother William known to me as a child as Uncle Billy, not sure when he was born but died in Belfast January 1st 1980. He was maried to Sarah, my mother refered to her as anut sal. Uncle Billy had a daughter Philomina/mina. I think her married name was McAllister, She would have been a first cousin to my mother. In the early 1970.s their son/daughter my mothers cousin emigrated to Canada, they had a daughter Coleen. I have a photo of Coleen taken in the early 1970's,  it may have been in Toronto. Any information gratefully appreciated.
