The family appear to have moved by the time of Griffiths Valuation in 1861 as they are no longer at that address (then known as Newtown St, till c 1867).

If you wanted to know how long they lived at the Main St address, you could probably do that from the Antrim estates papers in PRONI, Belfast which have pretty good records of tenants, year by year, back to the 1820s. The records are in paper form and are not on-line though. A personal visit is required to access them.

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately,  I live in Western Australia and won't be able to access the records.
