Oops!! Egg on face! I have just checked out information on McCartys Buildings and found out that I have the wrong street - sorry all!!
My gt.grandparents, Samuel and Agnes Hanson, were living in McCartys Buildings, NEW JOHN STREET WEST in 1868, but had moved to Gough Terrace, Lennox Street, by 1871.
Sorry I had got mixed up with the streets, I should have checked out the birth certificates before and not guessed, but thank you so much for all your help Wales, and also Michael as I see you found a John McCarthy in the directory.
Michael - Thanks again. I see there was a James McCarthy living in New John Street West in 1867. I would think this is definitely a possibility. I will check on the 1871 census.
