Title: Burial Location Elizabeth Durkin
Post by: stapler40 on Tuesday 08 December 15 11:47 GMT (UK)

Hello:

Can anyone assist me in locating the burial location for my great grandmother, Elizabeth Durkin. She was born in Liverpool, 1877, and her death was registered in Belfast, 21 Aug 1911 • 37 Bradford St.
I have searched on Ancestry for any burial information but so far nothing. I had thought it might have been possible for her burial to have taken place in Liverpool but so far nothing.

Thanking everyone in advance for any help.

I take it that Durkin is her married name?

Husband James was living at 60 Tyrone Street in 1918.
I would think that the burial was very likely to have been in Milltown Cemetery.
It would seem unlikely that in those days her remains would have been removed to Liverpool for burial.
However best way to establish the burial site would be to check the death notice in local papers, probably the Irish News.
