where was Marguerite Terrace, Belfast?

If you have access to FindMyPast you might wish to check out these - they appeared Jan-Jun 1900. Note both sisters identified as living together.
Will follow with later adverts which give the impression they occupied separate premises.

Oops - sent the wrong snippet, dated Jan 1901. It should have been included in this second set.
Sending Dec 1900 and Jan 1901 where the address becomes Nos 541 and 6 - giving the impression they lived apart?
Later adverts also give this impression.

Interesting.  If we assume that the illogically numbered 4 Rosetta Avenue was 1 Marguerite Terrace, then 541 Ormeau Road was no. 6 (see the splendid image sent by Shaun).
The conclusion is that the sisters lived together but each had her own way of expressing the address -- or one may have made her will before Ballynafeigh Road was renamed.

I assume they caught some disease which carried them both off in a space of a few hours.

The 21 Jun 1900 snippet (already posted) has Elizabeth at No. 541 - no mention of Margaret. I did wonder why only one mentioned or whether 2 separate notices appeared in the papers and I have yet to find Margaret's?

If I was a betting man I wouldn't be averse to putting my money on Nos 541 and No 6 being one and the same.
Years ago I attended a talk about addresses and changes over the years, We were advised that "Terraces" were a particular problem.

I agree.
See the Google Street View in reply #14, where the terrace closer to the centre of Belfast, has eight terrace houses with number 541 Ormeau Road and terrace house number 6 corresponding.   (Currently the one next to the blue door).

Also my view - Marguerite Terrace comprised 8 properties and 541 "fits" no 6 in the row.

As long as a No. 9 or greater doesn't pop I'll be happy!
