Shazza,

Could you check 121 Church Street East when you have a moment.

It should be a Lucy Thompson.

Thanks - Jen

Hi again Shazza,  Sorry late replying and glad you had fun there.  Yes one Son married a woman 20 years older and last I heard they stayed together.  Ronnie was his name and his wife was Audrey.  Another son married a Dutch girl and divorced some years later.

I always remember she made toffee lollies in the little flat silver bun tins with a wooden stick to hold it.  The Candy apples she made esp the Coconut covered ones were fantastic.

My Dad took us to see her when we were really young but we were never allowed on the other side of the counter. Pity.

Jemima Cunningham was my Grandmother, Dolly was her Daughter my Fathers Sister. Did your Granny have those big Brass pots with plants in in her house?  Mine did and we used to look close at them so our faces distorted into odd shapes.  Had great fun with them.

Don't remember big brass pots, but I do remember my granny had plastic fruit, which I used to play 'two ball' in the hall when it was raining.  The apples and oranges all had dents in them.  She also had one of those we things that you shake and the snow flutters around.  I don't think they would sell for much on the Antiques Roadshow.  :)

CHURCH STREET EAST
at 214 Newtownards Road
Victoria, East Belfast, Pottinger

121          THOMPSON, Mrs Lucinda

Sorry about delay Chicago.  I'd had a look at it, but it is quite a long street 1-125 odd nos, and 2-100 even nos, so I'd left it to do at a later time.  If you need any more information, or you'd like all the names, let me know.

Shazza - When did these street directories come into being?

No idea Pussy.  I was given this directory by a cousin of mine.  It was compiled, printed and published by the Belfast Newsletter Ltd, and cost £50 in 1959.  It says on it that it is volume LXXIX.  If you google Belfast Street Directories it comes up with a few bits and pieces that might be of interest, including the Lennon Wylie site.
