Mary, there are only 2 cemeteries in Holywood, Redburn and Priory.Assuming the person was buried in Holywood I would guess Priory as Redburn is a much newer cemetery.

Map of graveyards in County Down- you can filter by denomination but remember that other denominations often buried in Parish (Church of Ireland) ground-
