Thank you Pat

This might solve some questions as we have always assumed that when we get an address  "Shankill"  that it is near Carnmoney,maybe we can not find them because it may well be Armagh where we should be looking.

Thank you for your help and the site

There is a Shankill grave yard in Lurgan, County Armagh. Worthwhile trying, although it might be a dead end.

Gaelic = Old Church, if that's not too controversial at the moment!  ;D
