Thanks again

Hi, Yes here it is.  It doesn't look like secretary hand and the words are fairly clear. 
Many thanks.

Hi, I've come to this pretty late on but I do have some information you might be interested in.  I have a saved search with the dates of James Hynd and Helen Penman's children as:
Elspet 19/10/1817
Alexander 4/8/1821
Euphemia 19/8/1823
William 20/7/1825
Agnes 27/7/1827
James 21/12/1829

I have a parish record of the death of a James Hynd in Crossgates in 1839.  It might be the right James Hynd as his son Alexander married Mary (Maria) Geddes from Crossgates 17/4/1841 and they are in the 1841 census in Crossgates.  The age at death looks like 32 though so that is unlikely to be him.  There are so many Hynds in the area it's easy to confuse them.

I am a direct descendent of James & Helen and I also came across another of your posts enquiring about John Hynd and Beatrice Muir who were my great great grandparents.  Happy to share any information I have and would be interested to hear what info you have.

Valerie,

There are McAnultys in Church Street today - but that's Church St in  Warrenpoint, which is about 10 miles from Newry.  It's a family firm of funeral directors at number 35 Church St.

Try www.192.com to see this.

There were McAnultys at CHAPEL Street in Newry.

McAnulty from South Down is one of  my own research interests, albeit my dates are a bit before your own.  For example, I have these marriages:

- in 1888 between William McAnulty and Lillie Adams in Newry
- in 1900 between William John McCullough and Lilie McAnulty in Newry.

(Note, though, that "Newry" in this case means the Registration District, which was more than the town, in fact more than even the parish of Newry.)

I also have a Lucy McAnulty born in 1868 in Warrenpoint, Newry.

McSephney is an interesting, unusual name.  Have you tried tracking down the immigration records for that name, to see if they give clues as to the family left behind in Ireland?   (Mind you, I think it's a Scottish name.)

Just started looking at OPR death & burial records and have so far found two of mine.

One is the type of record that SP warns about - simply a list of names, dates and accounts for use of mort cloths, hearses etc.  All the entries have either BBV or BLV in capital letters after the deceased's name.  Does anyone know what these mean?  The record is from Liberton in 1810.

The second is from South Leith Parish although the deaths include people from Fountainbridge, Canongate, Canonmills.  I have heard that the South Leith Parish included the Calton Burial Grounds.
Each record refers to the place of burial e.g. "buried at the head of Mr Adams ground" or  "buried 1yd from the NEC (presumably north east corner) of Mr Darling the shoemakers's ground.  Does anyone know what this means - apart from the obvious?  It occurs to me that it might refer to lairs.
