I am trying to find my Grandparents. Lived in Belfast, County Down in Malcolm Street, in late 18 hundreds. Grandfathers name: John Lyness, Flax worker, Grandmothers name: Margaret (Grant) Lyness. My father, William John Lyness was born 1901, some of his sisters were called Margaret, Annie and Sarah. Any information would be most helpful

Pamela,

I am also researching the Lyness family, mostly from Hydepark, Malusk; although I don't seem to have any of your relatives in m tree there may a connection further back. Have you tried asking INis for help with look ups?

Click here for a link to his/her thread offering look ups.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
