I have a Rev. Cecil Nathanial Wilkenson who was a cousin to my great Uncle Alexander Harvey. He was 34 years whan he died. I have the paper,THE LEADER, that his funeral is in. It list many names of relatives and friends

Hello there,

Thank you for responding to my query, by chance does it list Charles or Susanna as being in attendance at that funeral?  I am researching the "Close" family from Belfast, and have recently discovered that Susanna who was the daughter of one of my grt grandfather's brothers...Robert Henry Close, married Charles Wilkinson, have traced her marriage, and have been lucky enough to find one of her children...any information you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

All the Best

Hiya Wendy,

I've been trying in vain to contact the Albertbridge Congregational Church for a member of another site. The phone rings and rings but no one replies. I've also been trying to find the phone number of the minister, Reverend Robert McEvoy, by looking at 192.com but that produced no result. If you need any information from this Church snail mail looks the only way unless there's a RootsChatter living in the vacinity.
