No. 62 Lily Street ......... many a happy time spent in this house 1 up right when my Great Granny Rankin
lived here in the 1950s and 60s.  Very fond memories of house parties especially at the ne'erday!
She died in this house 17 Feb 1968, 08:00pm aged 81yrs. 
I was 14 at the time and I remember 'having' to go into her bedroom to see her lying in her coffin.
In those days only men went to the funeral and I remember my mother, granny and aunties all crying
at the windows as we ( the men ) left with the cortege to her final resting place in Sandymount Cemetery.   
My great Uncle Bobby Rankin remained in the house till his death in Feb.1985
