Nothing listed for a gravestone but they could still be buried there.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Esther- I have Gravestone Inscriptions (Belfast, vol. 1 ) which includes Shankill Graveyard. Let me know what names you are looking for and I can chek to see if there's a headstone listed.

Hello Aghadowey,

I was wondering if you could look up a couple people probably buried in Shankill?

-John McNair, died 1830
-Elizabeth McNair, died 1851
-Children of John and Margaret Cochran, died sometime 1852-1864

Best Regards,
Cliff

No McNairs but many people didn't have headstones or some could be illegible.

Okay thanks so much for checking! I know they were buried in Belfast, so now I know it's not Clifton Street or Shankill..
