In the 1918 directory you have #15 Moorfield Street as Armour, foreman. That should be Harmer. My dad lived in that house from around 1903 until he died in 1968. We were all born there. Love the site.

At the age of 3 I travelled to Canada (Halifax) on the Franconia in December 1951. I certainly do not remember much - but my parents took quite a number of photos of the passage.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. I have managed to locate the street address where my Great Grandfather lived in Belfast in 1877. He must have moved to the UK between 1878 - 1880. He shows up in the UK Census for 1881. I was born in Manchester,England. Amazing.

This is fascinating stuff and I am thrilled to find it. However, I am confused. I have the 1901 and 1911 census returns but the street numbers don't seem to correspond with the street records here and some names simply aren't there. Has anyone else experienced this?

You have provided very valuable historic information. Thank you.
In my historic collection I have a Colt New Service .455 Ely pistol with the inscription 'T.M.B. Newton, Berkshire Regiment'. The Colt was manufactured in 1915.
Do you have any information concerning this item?

My grandfather fought in Burma with the 8th HAA, you have him in a picture as Jimmy Strachin on an AA gun but he was John Stranaghan from 57 Joseph St. He didn't talk much about the war and had only two photographs, one of the gun he named after my mother (Myrtle) and the other of group photo of the 22nd battery.
I've learned a lot from this site about the achievements of the 8th HAA and have something to pass on to my grandchildren.
Keep up this good work.

I would like to know how to find out about my grandfather, who was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. I heard him talking about the Boer war, Alexandria, the Khyber Pass, when I was young. I have a photo of him in a sergeant's uniform with my Granny and my Mother as a young girl. I have a notion that he might have enlisted twice. He also would seem to have had some connection with the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, as I have a Christmas Card from 'somewhere in France' from Major Ivan Dullaghan (I am not sure of the writing) to Lt. Col. Madden & officers 4th Royal Irish ????. On the other page is a photo of George R. I (Capital letter I not figure 1) Colonel-in-chief of the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers.

What a WONDERFUL site. I found photos of my mother and aunt when they worked in box making. Jim Ogle was a great friend of the family. I still have a few relatives and wonderful friends in Ireland. My grandfather was William Donaldson from Union Street where he had the bike shop at #92. Thank you so much. I will certainly donate to your work. I do have some old photos too if you would be interested. Regards, Ruth Postorino New York

Loved reading my granda D J Bailie's diary - my daddy is "wee curly top." He looks a lot like my daddy. I can see where the writers in our family come from, such a descriptive account of war from a man desperately missing the family he loved. He died the year after I was born, I'm glad we got to meet. x
