thanks briege, that gives me something to work on, i hope that people will understand that i have no idea which of these area are in the shankill area, that i have no idea how to break down the names nor do i have any idea how to identify who was married to charlotte, i do not know what to expect when i started this topic but your reply with all the above james houstons has left me speechless, if anyone has any idea how to decipher the above names to correspond to a wife i would more than welcome there help for i feel very stupid asking this question and not being able to do anything with the answer
