It states that my uncle was born there and that it was also listed as the dwelling of the father.

Antrim / Address confusion
« on: Friday 07 July 23 15:35 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have just recieved the birth certificate for my uncle who was born on the 31st of January 1931 and the address is down as 15 Osman Street in Belfast.
I have checked the 1932 street directory via Lennon Wylies website and it states a Wm Tierney was living here at that time and on the 1924 street directory he was also living there also which stands to reason that he would have been there in 1931.
My great grandfathers name was John Joseph Wilson and by this point he was married with 2 sons.
Is it possible he was living there with the Tierney family or is there another possibility?

0.3 miles away so just a 5 minute walk. Will have to see what I can find out. I do have a copy of my grandads christening record so will see if the sponsors are a clue.

Hmmm that's a good point. I'll check to see how close the address are. I do know that my great grandfathers mum lived on Balkan street at that time but not number 58.

Antrim / Grandads birth address query
« on: Tuesday 27 June 23 16:05 BST (UK) »
Hi all
I have received my grandads birth certificate from 1925 (he is deceased now) and it gives his address and also states where he was actually born.
His parents were living at 22 Sevastopol street and he was born at 58 Balkan street.
I assumed this was a hospital at first but I checked the address on Lennon Wylie's site and a gentleman named James Quinn (a labourer) was living there.
I can aonly assume that perhaps James Quinn's wife was a midwife or something.
Does anybody have any idea what this might be?
Kind regards
Dan Wilson

United States of America / Buffalo Times newspaper help
« on: Saturday 17 June 23 20:27 BST (UK) »
Hi all
My great great aunt Josephine Theresa Whelan was born in Ireland and came over to the US to live late 19th century.
I have seen that there is a newspaper article in the Buffalo Times in 1903 but although I have access to Ancestry I cannot see the newspaper article.
Is it possible that anyone can access the article and see what it is about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
