Hello from New Zealand,

I apologise for posting my request here but I am going around in circles trying to find out where I should post it.   I would very much like a photograph of an ancestors gravestone    We have just discovered that Martha Woods is buried in Streatham Park Cemetery in Grave No 52435, Square 28A. 
If anyone could assist  I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you so much,
KiwiBev

Kia ora,

I would be most grateful if someone could provide any information on Jackson PATTON, who died 1976 in the parish of Ramoan, Antrim.

I am trying to find any information that could lead me to living relatives.  I will be traveling to Belfast in Sep 2008 and would very much like to meet up with living relatives, and to visit my ancestors resting places.

Any information Will be much appreciated.

Hi RosemaryJoan,

Thanks so much for the information on the marriages.   Is AncestryIreland a paying site? 

I know I am asking heaps of questions here but how can I find out where my Patton ancestors actually lived?  I still don't know this information or even where any of them are buried.  Can you recommend where I can look.  Also can you recommend/advise Irish websites I can access?

Thanks again.

Kia ora and good morning or good evening to RosemaryJoan and Christopher,

Thank you both for replying to my posting of November 2006.  I really appreciate you both taking the time to offer information.

Thank you Christopher for the information you provided - I will follow up the best I can for more information.

And Rosemary Joan, YES this Jackson is a son of Jackson Patton and I am now busy trying to find descendants of this marriage.    We are travelling to Holywood in Aug/Sep this year trying to find living relatives.  It is so difficult trying to find information on my Irish ancestors living so far away and not having access to local records etc.

As noted in my Nov06 posting the name of John ( my 2x grt grandy) and Jackson Patton's father was William Patton but I have no idea of their mother's name and would dearly love to find this out.  I do not even know when she died.

Any suggestions re what records or where I could look for this information would be greatly appreciated.

I have also just found a sister named Eliza who married David McCutcheon and I am now looking for information on this couple and possible descendants.

Emerald Ancestors - yes I had accessed this site some time ago well before I knew of Jackson and Eliza Patton so I will revisit it and see what I come up with.

I am so looking forward to visiting the land of my Irish ancestors and would really love to meet up with living relatives if at all possible.   My 2x great grandy John Patton drowned in NZ in Oct 1871 and left a very young widow with four children under the age of seven, one of them being my great grandpop (whom I never knew) -  his widow married twice more - and  any information on her first husband was lost over the years.   In those early days information on official records in NZ was very basic so I have not been able to find anything from those sources. 

I would also like to know where Jackson Patton (1 and 2) are buried - how can I find this information?

Thanks again for your replies which are very much appreciated.
