Wilson - Jordan 1893 in Belfast
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 16:33 GMT (UK) »
I am still having no sucess in tracing John and Annie Wilson who were in Belfast in 1893.

Annie's maiden name was Jordan and she was John's 3rd wife.

Any leads gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Lyn

Thanks for looking Anthony,

I have very sketchy information about my grandfather's early days and my g grandfather.

I think John and Annie were at 39 Irwin Street Belfast in 1893 when my grandfather was born.

Annie died when Joseph - my grandfather was very young and he and his sister Minnie were put in care.
Minnie to a Convent in Belfast and Joseph to the Artane Monastery in Dublin.

Joseph came to Leeds and was subsequently married, I have all that information from research and living relatives.

But it's the time in Ireland that is a mystery and I would dearly love to find out more.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

I'm sorry Anthony but I have scoured the pages for Wilson which you sent me but cannot find John Wilson at 39 Irwin Street.

Would it be under another address such as off the Falls Road or is it just me missing something??????????
