Thank you scotmum. I have a FindMyPast membership but I cannot seem to get into the electoral rolls. Perhaps I have the wrong membership. Is there any way you can a pass that information on to me privately. I am not sure what the rules are regarding that. Thank for your help anyway. I will keep trying.
*through google I just found his name. This has to be more than just a coincidence.

Glensman, that marriage is my grandparents'. Margaret was also William's sister. Thanks for trying.

Thankyou Glensman. Yes, those census documents are for William's parents. I have details of his family but can find no trace of his wife and daughter after he died and she remarried.

Hi Wendy.

I just read your post from March. I too live in Australia but was born in Belfast and all my relatives live in Lisburn. Many of my ancestors are buried in the Old Blaris graveyard and on my last two visits I spent a lot of time locating and cleaning up their graves, It is a rambling old cemetery with much of it over grown. There is a video on you tube

which you might find interesting. It is a walk through of the cemetery but at night using night vision glasses.

You can direct your query regarding your relatives grave to Zoe at the Lisburn Council Offices, she is the cemeteries admin person. If you have any problem let me know and I will dig out her direct email address for you. She is very busy but also very helpful as long as you don't inundate her with questions. The only problem you may have is that the records may not go back that far but you might be lucky if other family members with the same name were buried in later years and it was a family plot.

Good luck, let me know how you go. I am planning another trip there next year, if you find out where the grave is I can get a photo for you.

Regards
Angela
