Teap did James Kells have a brother John a carter in census below, could the right Annie
and the right John be muddled and are first cousins.
I tried the valuation books ie
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/search-archives-online/valuation-revision-booksbut I only found the odd numbers which are on the south side of the road and gave up
a Annie Kells and a John Kells their joint burial notices are listed see
http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/community/burialrecords/burialrecords.aspxboth ages are about 10 years wrong, could it be them or another of my wrong speculations/red herrings
John Kells age 76 so [ b~1897] d 16 Dec 1973 bur Belfast City Cemetery - Glenalina Extension Last address 195 Argyle street
Annie Kells age 65 so [b~1903] [ d 24 Dec 1968 bur Belfast City Cemetery - Glenalina Extension. Last address 195 Argyle street
they are bur with a Joseph Kells age 65 [so b~1940] d 16th Aug 2005 bur Belfast City Cemetery - Glenalina Extension. Last address Glencairn Care Centre Glencairn Rd Belfast 2634 BT13 3PU
checking backwards on street directories from
http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk1912 195. Argyle St Kells, John, carter (Kelly, John, carter in 1910)
1924 195 Argyle St Kellis, John, operator (Kells, John, carter in 1918)
1932 195 Argyle St Kells, John, operator
1943 195 Argyle St Kells, John, operator
