Location of Street and Town **Birthday bumped**

[joette]

Hi Callum my BIL's family is McAuley from Ballycastle & I have been helping a wee bit with the reasearch.In fact Cushendall was where I know the family were based in the same house from 1921-1950's after their brief sojourn in Scotland.I suspect though that James McAuley was born there too.His spouse was Hannah McNaul.
Would have to look at my notes to see if there is any connection although according to my BIL all the McAuley's in Ballycastle-Cushendall in particular are related.

Hi Lesley,

I've been informed by the chap on the Antrim Site that the street in the picture is Glentaisie Drive and that the church is the Holy Trinity.
Now I have to find out who lived there in the 1950s.......

Thanks again

Calum

Hi Calum
That is great that you now have the street identified. Thanks for letting us know.
We got the church right, but we were a few streets away!

Best of luck with finding the names
Lesley

“Birthday bumps” or “dumps” are a tradition in Scotland, especially in school playgrounds, where the birthday boy or girl was pursued in order to be given “dumps” or “bumps” - usually a series of bumps on the behind with a knee, corresponding to the number of years the birthday person had now reached (and sometimes an extra one for luck!).
