Banbridge is a relatively small town with a population of about 15,000. I live about an hour away and have been through it many times but I've never heard of Lianarla, and it seems quite an unusual name and not particularly "Northern Irish" or "Irish" in origin. The link here mentions that Banbridge Tourist Information Centre offers a Genealogy service - might be worth a try? http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/Banbridge-Tourist-Information-Centre-Banbridge-P30487

I don't suppose LIANARLA could be your Grandparents house name in Banbridge could it ? Just a thought.

:-) Made me smile. So your grandparents, Lian & Arla, where did they live ;-)

Thanks for your help regards, Lianarla. This was in BANBRIDGE ,will try the Tourist Board site suggested. Did think it sounded like a name but its not the relatives. Thanks anyway.
