DANIEL STOREY died on 17 May 1919 after serving with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Remarkably, his age is given as 16! He was the son of Alexander and Elizabeth Storey of Cape Castle, Co Antrim and he died at that address. In 1911 he was living there with his parents and older siblings Nathaniel and Maggie. Another brother, John, born in July 1888 did not appear in the 1911 Census .
The family were Presbyterian.
An Elizabeth Storey who was probably Daniel's mother died at Cape Castle on 28 Dec 1912.
The family lived in the vicinity of Ramoan Presbyterian Church but unfortunately that are no burial records known.
Daniel Storey is entitled to War Grave commemoration if proof of burial can be found.
Does anyone know where this young soldier is buried?

Presbyterians don't, as a rule, keep burial records and there might not be a family headstone. The local Church of Ireland burying-ground is another possibility of the family has a plot there.
Newspaper might, or might not, include burial details.

Storey, Hugh youngest son of Alexander and Margaret Cape Castle, interment in City Cemetery
Headstone image & plot map (though image too small to read)
https://discovereverafter.com/profile/28077648
Interred with 3 Ramseys.
Someone has linked a spouse Margaret Jane Storey & child on FAG https://findagrave.com/memorial/205446121/hugh-storey which is questionable as his death cert says Hugh was a 22 year old bachelor (registered by sister Annie Ramsey).

The FAG link mentioned above also, when clicked through to the infant, states
Stillborn Child Of Houston & Margt J. Buried 23 May 1898
so, if correct, was more possibly this couple, who married in 1874 (therefore a rather late born child):
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cima-2834809 Huston Storey and Margaret Hoey
albeit that means the dob details for the Margaret Jane listed at the FAG entry are incorrect.
The stillborn child had a last place of residence of 118 Spamount St., according to the burial index.

DANIEL was the son of Alexander and Elizabeth Storey; Alexander was the son of Alexander(Sen), also from Capecastle. By my reckoning, the Hugh Storey buried in Belfast City Cemetery was the son of Alexander (Sen) ie he was Daniel's uncle. Unless somebody tells me otherwise!
I reckon the John Storey buried at Armoy Presbyterian could well be Daniel's older brother.
I would welcome any further thoughts on this puzzle.
