Title: Rev. Canon Alfred CROSS
Post by: Drakelow1 on Monday 23 September 19 04:12 BST (UK)
My Great Uncle died on 11 Feb 1947 at Ballyglass, Dromore West, aged 63. At the time of his death he was the  "Clergy in Charge", Kilmacshalgan, Killala. I cannot find where he was buried so if anyone can help it would be really appreciated.

As you see on your other thread replied to by Sinann, no details of where burial took place.

Have you emailed the Diocese Office?

What County was he from?

What was his wife's name and do you know when she died maybe her death notice was more informative, assuming they are buried together?

His wife's name was May Elizabeth. They were both born in England but moved to Canada in 1906 and 1910. Alfred had been posted to Ireland from Canada and so when he died, May returned to Canada and soon after moved to America to be close to her oldest son Gordon in California.
The photographs of the Memorials in the churchyard were great but unfortunately, Alfred's was not among them.
I've contacted the Diocese office but had no reply.
I'll send for a copy of the Grant of Administration.
