Appendix 5: Stayed in Belfast
Introduction:
What if Robert STRONG had brothers who remained in Belfast and did not emigrate? What if Robert had other closely related family which remained in Belfast? Let’s have a look at sources of STRONG names in Belfast from 1900 to 1912. I am indebted to kind people who made look-ups etc as follows: Belfast 1900 Directory (Joe Mack), 1901 Belfast Census (Jean McCarthy), Ulster Covenant of 1912 (PRONI’s Online database), 1912 Belfast Newsletter Directory (Brian Magaoidh). The first four tables have been arranged in alphabetical order of street names to more easily track families which stay at the same address over the period studied. I would be grateful to receive information on any of these STRONG names... perhaps they are part of your family? Perhaps they are part of mine? Perhaps current research into DNA of the STRONG families might provide the answer?
Families with further information:
Further details have been gathered about the following names by personal research and / or by contact with members of their family. These names have been linked to their mentions in the following tables. Please e-mail me for further details.

1901 Irish Census
Unfortunately the 1901 Irish Census is not on-line and there is no index
to its names in PRONI. However, Jean McCarthy has done a tremendous amount
of work on the Belfast Census relating to her family names (MOORE, BOWDEN
and HAWTHORNE), as well as relating the Belfast Street Directory to Census
and PRONI film numbers. Whilst she was doing this, she has very kindly passed
to me any STRONGs when she found them. I am most indebted to Jean for this.
Her 1901 Irish Census material is on her web site 'Jean
McCarthy's Genealogy Web Site'.
The following table is an index of the head of family / boarder/ guest STRONG records. Please click on the hyperlinked names in the index to take you to the rest of the family record in the table at the end of this page.

Note on population mobility:
STRONGs remaining at Belfast from the 1900-1 period up to 1912 include those at Beersbridge Rd and Glenwood St. Change of address included Mrs Charlotte STRONGE. The impression is that of a mobile population which generally did not stay at same address, probably because they rented their homes.
