Hi gimpy, did you solve the missing relatationship between the Hazelnut Shaws, with your Granny Maggie Dowds and your father Herbert and his syblings May, Robert, Joseph, and John.
I tried but became stuck Molyneaux Court or Street . If its Belfast its only Molyneaux Street
running from 58 Henry Street to Little George's Street [ I think that’s Dock ward in Belfast Co Antrim in the civil parish of Shankill. I searched PRONI own street directorys collection which ends in 1900. The Street directories show it never has numbesIt has never had street Nos above 22. Can you recheck what PRONI told you. Mary Lennons great website for Street directories
www.lennonwylie. co.uk has eg 1918 A Maggie Glenn as the only Maggie and no Dowds or Shaws associated with it. The census 1911 confirms this as well.ie no Shaws and the census shows boarders names as well.
Going back in time to 1660 I notice the Shaws have been around for a long time in the Belfast areas eg the hearth money rolls of 1660’s see
http://www.billmacafee.com his headings for columns in a table are:-
Record No. No. in Barony List County Barony Parish Townland (Modern Spelling) Townland as spelt in Hearth Money Rolls Forename as spelt in Hearth Money Rolls Surname as spelt in Hearth Money Rolls Surname [Standardised]
14459 850 Antrim Belfast Upper Shankill Malone Upper Upper Liberties of Mallone John Show Shaw
14559 950 Antrim Belfast Upper Shankill Forth River Area Liberties of the glen John Shaw Shaw
15080 1471 Antrim Belfast Upper Lambeg Lambeg Parish Lambeg Liberties Thomas Showe Shaw
Molyneaux Court or Street . Its Molyneaux Street
running from 58 Henry Street to Little George's Street[ I think that’s Dock ward in Belfast Co Antrim in the civil parish of Shankill. I searched PRONI own street directorys collection which ends in 1900. It has never had street Nos above 22. Can you recheck what PRONI tiold you. Mary lennons great website for Street directories
www.lennonwylie. co.uk has eg 1918 A Maggie Glenn as the only Maggie and no Dowds or Shaws associated with it. The census 1911 confirms this as well.ie no Shaws and the census shows boarders names as well. However that reminded me that Griffiths valuation was followed by Valuation offices being formed and changes of tenants and landlords all being registered in Valuation revision books. The Public Record office for northern Ireland has a digitized collection online up to about 1923. I think they may have found your Maggie Dowds so listed. However finding the right book is not straightforward. If you go onto PRONI website , enter the Valuation Revision Books section with a search for Molyneaux Shankill parish Co Antrim you find
the following small table
PLACE NAME URBAN TOWNLAND PARISH COUNTY DATE FROM DATE TO PRONI REFERENCE
Molyneaux Street Belfast, City of Townparks Shankill Antrim 1882 1896 the last reference doesn’t print out but reads {Current PRONI Reference:} VAL/12/B/43/B/11 (1882 - 1896). You click on this number and you move to sreen offering you Index Image, Forward 10 images, Next, Last image .
Click on Index image and its missing. I eventually found Molyneaux Streetappears on pages 383 and 384 of 521 pages. However on the actualpages are in red the numbers 436,437 and in blue 190,191. no names relevant to your query found. On the LHS of the image of the index page is a list of relevant numbers
