Smyth Family, Quadrant Street, Belfast

[TonyMcGartland]

Interestingly, your grandfather was born in John Street, Omagh. I live about 5mins from John Street though now its mainly solicitors offices and some 'takeaways', nobody lives on the street any longer. Did the Smyth move to England because they seemed to disappear from Irish records.

[J Wakley]

Yes they moved to England for work reasons realy i think. my grandmother was a Maguire at the time of the marriage as she was a widow. Where are you in the family tree? We should meet up for a drink next time we visit Ireland pandemic allowing of course. x

[TonyMcGartland]

Peter Smith married Mary Ann McGartland. Her father Patrick, was my great grandfathers brother Edward.
