Thank you so much. The house where the spy stayed was my father's family home in shankill, and still stands- near O'Leary's on the bend, more Shanganagh than Shankill. The house is called Florenceville. I am not sure if it still is. Somebody else who lived their told me they found something to do with the spy there. I'm not sure what.
