Title: Which Belfast Cemetery?
Post by: sio59 on Tuesday 05 March 13 12:14 GMT (UK)

Relative Mary Fitzgerald died 20 Jan 1932 at Indiana Ave, Belfast. Can anyone tell me the nearest RC Cemetery to this address please? Mary was from Limerick originally and I have found a death notice in the Irish Independent but unfortunately it gave no funeral details.

Thank you,

Siobhan

She doesn't appear on search system at http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialrecords/, but the page gives details and contact info regarding cemeteries that are not covered by the search.

I would just like to suggest you also think of Limerick.  Many people choose to be buried in their original homeplace.

Thank you lucybella. I did start in Limerick as many of the family are buried there and also searched the Mt St Lawrence Register to no avail, hence the Belfast burial query. i was beginning to think I'd never find her!

I am delighted to say that  a very kind person has sent me  photographs of the grave headstone in Milltown. A real treasure for present day family.

Thanks to everyone for their help
