1974: Barristers

I happen to have a 1974 Belfast and Northern Ireland street directory. There are collections of them dating from the 19th century at the Linenhall Library, Belfast Central Library, and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland.

I have no idea whether any other libraries have them in the Province, though I'm sure they do.

These directories (are they still produced?) have many, many categories, including a comprehensive list of streets in the city, from Abbey Gardens to Zetland Street; Government Administration; Government Services; Legal Directory; Towns & Villages. Ad infinitum.

Under Professions and Trades we have the sub-section entitled BARRISTERS-AT-LAW.

Here's a selective list:-
