BEST - 1901 Census or before!
« on: Wednesday 15 February 06 21:45 GMT (UK) »
Would anyone be able to check the Census records for 1901 or before for 4, Hope's Place Belfast.  The family name is BEST.
Any information on the BEST family of Belfast would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks - Matty.
Best, Brawley, Gelston, Moore and Peden.

Not sure if you are still looking for this information but 1901 census is first complete census for Ireland- 1901 and 1911 online (free). There's no listing in 1901 for Best at Hope* in Co.Antrim.
