The only sources that I know of for information on the Shankill cemetery are as follows
PRONI hold a book on the headstones logged in the late 50s when the cemetery was tidied up and handed over to Belfast City council.
The Belfast Telegraph actual internment notices but this would involve a manual trawl at the newspaper library in Belfast.
The Ulster historical foundation have published books on headstones this information should in theory be the same as the PRONI document.
St Matthews church records are for persons belonging to that church and it should not be taken as an entire burial register for The Shankill Cemetery. Many people were buried there but did not belong to the church.
The registers were (I'm told) destroyed in a fire.

Hi I would have a few to check but the first would be Miss Anne Marshall of Belfast who died 04 Oct 1860. Is your source the book of headstones?
