Antrim churchyard is perhaps the (small) burial ground attached to the CoI church in Antrim town?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin - Suam or Suum?
« on: Saturday 05 July 25 13:00 BST (UK) »
I'm not sure either. But from distant memory of ancient Latin, I think Cicero (e.g.) might have put "suam" there, trusting in the gender to make it clear which noun it went with. Taken this way, "suam" puts a kind of emphasis on the fact that the wish is his own.

The Common Room / Re: Why do some people...?

If we’re allowed to talk about C19, I don’t think anyone has mentioned the Irish custom of naming some sons after their maternal grandfathers, with surname as middle name.

Oxfordshire / Re: university of Oxford

Do you know which college the person was said to have belonged to? I think it would be easier to contact a college about past members. You can find email addresses on the web.
