Just some thoughts (and I realise you may have already pursued these):

For the Norway link, have you considered having a look in the area of Norway mentioned on the IGI record of a Lorents Andreas Eid b 1815 at Ytteroy, Nord Trondelag, Norway? I know it is not your Lorenzo, but looking sideways, it is in right timescale (ie with your Lorenzo born c1802) to be a cousin having been given the same 'family' name of perhaps a grandfather.

Also, as Sarah Lynch's parents are buried in the grave with her and Lorenzo,  have you managed to track down anything on them that may give a clue to where they lived and/or worshipped (in the hope of eventually finding Lorenzo and Sarah's marriage details in some old church records at PRONI which may give you more info on Lorenzo).
"As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know."  - Donald Rumsfeld

Don't just wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain.

Aeroqueen,

Earl Street ran from Corporation Street to York Street.

Re the Norway link you may be interested in this site http://www.rootsweb.com/~wgnorway

Sorry Anthony, that question was addressed to you.
I hope you do not mind my posting the answer.
I have no objection if you answer one addressed to me some time.

Hello Scotmum&Christopher
thankyou both for your messages
your input is much appreciated
with regards to searching in Norway i have tried various ways but only drawn blanks .i wrote to the Statsarkivet Trondheim  who kindly tried to locate a record for him searching various parishes .they told me the equivalent to Lorenzo would be Lorenz or Lorents and that a lot of norwegian ships sailed to Ireland at that time ,he wasn't in the military roll for sailors.
thankyou Christopher for the norwegian site i will take a look at it i have used the John Follesdal one which i found really interesting.
As to the parents of sarah John&Ann Lynch i know nothing other than they are in the grave which i have visited .the address for Lorenzo i have was weighhouse lane in belfast.
i will have a look on the IGI at the man you mention scotmum
thankyou once again
kind regards aeroqueen

Aeroqueen,

I found Fostin and Bessie Eid at 224, Mayo Street, Belfast. They were living there in 1912. They both signed the Ulster Covenant.  Fostin signed at St Matthews Parochial House, Belfast North Parliamentary Division, West District and Bessie signed at Bellevue Street Mission Hall, Belfast West Parliamentary Division, Shankill District
