Hi Barry I know your post was addressed to I.C. so here I am butting in - it was at the corner of Silvio Street and another Street name of which I cannot remember. My father's familly were members of St Mary's and my mammy went to St. Mary's School - think it may have been in the parochial hall - anyone know exactly where the school was located?

Hi Barry,
 
Here are some photos of St. Mary's Church of Ireland on the Crumlin road, Belfast.  These were taken in July 2010.  It was a rainy day and the photos are a bit clouded.  Silvio street on one side and Mc Candless street on the other. There is a parochial hall joined to the church, could this have also been the school?

just saw patricia margarets post too about the streets and I made a mistake it was Mccandles  street  on the r ight side   my aunt (my grans sister) lived down off there in Druse street (thisnk it is gone now)  any way      they story there is  when I got married there at the church    we had moved to bangor  and I wanted to get married a t st marys, so my aunt flo  allowed me to stay up at her house    so banns could be read and all that stuff      so on my marriage certificate it says I lived in Druse street ,  the laugh is      all my  poor wee aunts neighbors when they saw  the church  bullitin and weddings in it    all said to her       ""WE DIDN'T SEE ANY BRIDE LEAVE YOUR HOUSE'"   we all had a laugh at that  one I left from my own home in bangor

I attended both St.Mary's church and school from about 1945 to 1951. The school at that time ran parallel with the church from Silvio St. to McCandless St. A Miss O'Hara was the Head Mistress. The building(s) was still there in 2003. As irish colleen said it sure did not look like that years ago. I thought at first it was the Palais Alhambra Bobdenn was posting.
