Thank you for trying to find Johns death date. When I first met my wife she brought me to meet Alice back in 1964. John was already dead then and Alice was a widow. I think he might have died between 1961 and 1964

Thank you so much, we have been trying to get that information from last year. My wife passes on her thanks to you as well. G

I have spent days and weeks trying to find out when my wife,s  granny died. Her details are Alice Ellen Mc Cabe of 13 Rockville Street Belfast. Born 13 Feb 1892. I have trawled the PRONI death  registrations web for hours now. she died sometime in the period 1965- 1975. She was married to a John James Mc Cabe known as Jack !!! who had died year before her death. No family members who are left can ever recall her funeral ?? Many thanks if you can get any information on her death.

At last confirmation of the people in the grave in Milltown.
    Lease was to Kathleen Mc Kee. Thought they could provided an address but will call and see them if there is one.
Note the age quoted are a mile out.
Mary (May) Mc Kee died Royal Victoria Hospital Age 67
Burial 19 Dec 1960
Kathleen Mc Kee (Kitty) died Royal Victoria Hospital Age 91
Burial burial 20th March 1988
 John James Mc Cabes daughter Kathleen Mc Cullough nee Mc Cabe died
Beaconsfield Nursing Home.Burial 6th April 1991
Her Husband Michael Mc Cullough died City Hospital age 93 on the 23rd March 1999.
Well we know for sure that the girls preferred the name Mc Kee !! and their brother used Mc Cabe. 
Eilish my wife thinks her Gran Alice Mc Cabe may have survived her husband by quite a bit !! The other bit of information we got was Alice had 2 sisters one was married to a Duffy and lived in Rockville Street where she died and another called Maggie who lived in Iveagh Street and wasn’t married. Where they buried with Alice their sister?? and John James is buried elsewhere??? but that’s muddying the waters so we will asked the office at Milltown to check out if they have both buried together???

We have located Mary (Mc Cabe/Mc Kee in the Milltown Cemetery. The heading on the headstone is Mc Kee Mc Cabe. Underneath this is  In loving Memory of
 May (Mary) the dearly beloved sister of John and Kathleen. Died 17th Dec 1960.
No surname of either Mc Kee or Mc Cabe is used. We were told that the person who purchased the grave was her sister Kathleen (Kitty) Mc Kee . We have been told there is a total of 4 people in the grave but it’s not Eilish’s grandad and his wife Alice. So to find out who is in there we had to pay £25 for the complete search which we should have by Tuesday. I will update the story then. Our next step will be to locate Eilish’s grandmother and her husband John Mc Cabe who buried his mother Annie in the Belfast City Cemetery.
