“On application of the owners, your Committee have named ...two new streets off Newtownards road ‘McMaster street’ and ‘Lendrick street’.” (Minutes, Town Improvement Committee, 27 October 1897). [Owner: John McMaster (the Rev J. J. Major or Mayor consenting) two new streets named: McMaster Street and Lendrick Street. Minutes, TIC, 27th October 1897]. Thanks to information supplied in an email to this project from James McMaster, the great grandson of John McMaster the following information can be added: It is possible that John McMaster in naming Lendrick Street, was likely referring to his father Lendrick M’Master (1833-1886), his grandfather Lendrick M’Master (1802-1880) and his son Lendrick (1879-1887). The name Lendrick was a prominent early family name. Lendrick Street seems to have been built from 1898 onwards – there are already addresses of people living at Lendrick Street in the 1899 Belfast Street Directory.
