Question: When did Belfast streets start to be ''segregrated'' as my ancestors were Catholic on a mixed st in Shankhill!?

On Foreman st in the 1911 census there is a mix of families from Church of Ireland and Catholic, plus one or two 'other'!.

Was that normal then , even though now I think this street is in the Woodvale, Shankhill area with very low percentage of catholics!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

There may have a low %age but it was not until the troubles starting in the late 60s when the communities almost fully balkanised due to the increased danger of attack from some elements within each!. It was never 'segregation' as such!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

From the time of the Protestant Revolution (after Luther posted his bills), the Catholic church (& Catholics) have been feuding with the Protestants!.
Before that, the Catholics feuded with the Jews & the Muslims!.

As to when, the answer is as far back as any history can be traced!.

Most of my ancestors moved from country to country, then to the Colonies, to escape religious, economic, and political persecution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It started in the 17th century!. Belfast was then known as "Protestant City"!. As Catholics moved to the area to work in factories, etc!. they were only allowed to live in certain areas!.
