Title: Graves in Portadown
Post by: karene.mcdowell on Tuesday 23 July 19 19:57 BST (UK)
My great great grandparents John and Sarah Jane (magill) Maitland died In Portadown ( they lived in west street and Hanover street)In 1911 and 1905. I believe they were Presbyterian and I am trying to find out where they might be buried? Any guidance what the most likely graveyard would be?

Many thanks for the guidance. I was hoping to try an narrow down my search a bit. I'm assuming that they were members of a Presbyterian church within the town, First Portadown, being closest to them. Looking on google maps I can’t see an attached graveyard so wondering does anyone know what graveyard would have been used in early 1900’s for that congregation?

Don't rule out burials in the Church of Ireland graveyard.
