Belfast Streets
« on: Friday 03 March 06 09:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi there
I am researching Fullerton ancestors in Belfast but I live in Yorkshire and have never visited yet!
Can some kind soul with local knowledge, advise if any of these streets are still standing in Belfast, please?

71, Abingdon Street
12 Baroda Street
68 Bankmore Street
115 Utility Street
Craigmore Street


Thanks very much!

Hi, Debbie,
I'm in New Zealand but visited my origins two years ago and I've still got the street directory.   The following are there, but I can't be sure of the house numbers....
Abingdon DRIVE   (not Street)
Baroda Street
Bankmore Street
Utility Street
Craigmore WAY  (not Street)

Hope this helps,
Regards  Hilary

Hi Hilary

Thanks very much for your helpful reply.
If I ever get to Belfast, I won't have quite as far to go as you did ;D
All the best

Anthony, thank you so much.
You have just given me a huge boost to my Fullerton research.
This was was grandmothers family and I hardly know anything about them, so what you have kindly supplied has made a great difference.
Many thanks once again, you're a star :) :)
All the best

Hiya Debbie,

Here's a useful map for you http://maps.google.co.uk It may take a bit of time learning how to use it. Enter Belfast in the Search line then keep clicking on the plus sign to enlarge.

All the Best,

Chris

Hi Pentio,

Is Ava Street the one ran along the back of A. S. Bairds,
the Rootes Group dealers in the fifties and sixties?

All the Best, Chris
