                                    Margaret Lennon                                                             Charles McMullan
1907 - Belfast Telegraph, Thursday, July 28, 1983 Margaret Lennon - The Postcard survives, but not the story of the circumstances surrounding her death by shooting, during trouble between strikers and police.
Mystery Victim - Who was Margaret Lennon, and how did she come to be shot dead in a Belfast street on an August afternoon, 76 years ago in some other riots? The face of Margaret on a postcard, printed and published by J. W. Boyd of North Street in the city is a grim reminder that some things never chance. But how did the lady come to lose her life in trouble that flared between workers and police during a massive strike? The caption on the postcard doesn't say what role Margaret played that day, or if she was just a passerby who became a victim. Margaret Lennon, 52 Conway Street & Charles McMullan, 44 Conway Street. Both shot Monday 12th August 1907 at Peel Street, Falls Road
Charles McMullan, One of the victims shot in Belfast Riots on Monday, August 12, 1907
