Hi both, looking around, I started with Ros Davies great website. I see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/
Francis COSGROVE . Holywood a widower; a carter; son of John Cosgrove (also a carter); married Harriett McWilliams of Holywood 23 Sep 1873 at Linenhall Presbyterian Church , Belfast PR
Dr.  Hugh COSGROVE .  Holywood a surgeon in Holywood in 1852 POD 
Miss Jane COSGROVE . Holywood wife of James Nicholson; mother of Jane b. 1865 & Agnes b. 1868 CR

Orange Grove, a homestead. 
An Orange Grove house, Malone Road Belfast was lived in by Dr Templeton see www.lennonwylie.co.uk/alphanames1880tuvwyz.htm
in more detail
MALONE ROAD Upper
Stranmillis Road to Shaw's Bridge  {Right Side}
Orangegrove
Templeton, Robt., M.D.
Maryvale
McCracken, Malcolm
........Malone Park intersects.......
Myrtle Field etc

The house must have had notes in the Ulster Arctitectural historical Society. They may have done a South belfast pamphlet. The house should be dated in a geography [Queens Uni ]MA as south Belfast was completed by Trevor Carlton

other suggestions from Ros Davies great website  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/
Orangefield Knockbreda 15:36/73 house & farm of 159 acres in Multyhogy townland; 3km SE of Belfast; residence of Thomas Bateson before 1824; residence of R.B.B. Houston Esq. D.L. J.P in 1852; his death notice 25 Jul 1857; owned by John B. Houston in 1863; marriage of Mary Charlotte Houston 9 Aug 1884 (DR) ; residence of John Blakiston- Houston in 1886; St John's Church of Ireland here; Independent Order of Rechabites annual demonstration 11 Aug 1894 (NC) IIW; DR; POD; NC; GV; POD; GIPR
Orangegrove Magheradrool . house & farm; 2km SE of Spa; residence of John Macubrie in 1837 & Robert Macubrie in 1863; photo available  old b/w map M11; IIW V4 p101 I didnt get studying the Griffiths maps that accompany the askireland version of Griffiths survey but it must have been on the little plateau where the old stranmillis road meets malone Road on the LHS going out of belfast. I think plot 8 might be it on the older amp 1858? corner . Googling and you can see a very large modern building on the old site. I didnt get chasing Drumbeg in Griffiths or O 'Neil in Ros davies, sorry must close now, Jim
