hello kingskerswell, thank you for your fast reply, we are not sure about james. my late father in law was arthur mcaleavy born 1919 and died 1988, his father was called hugh from the short strand. could you sent the info on james and mary. when i get back over to belfast i will check the old papers and might find something to link them to hugh. many thanks, regards william.

Hi wb54,
            I transcribed the wrong headstone. The above name should be McALEVEY.

The correct one is:-
(White headstone in a railed surround)
Erected by Patrick McAleavey in loving memory of his mother Cecelia McAleavey who died 23 Jun 1871 aged 80 years. Also his wife Sarah McAleavey who died 31 Jul 1872 aged 33 years. Also his sister Rose Ann McAleavey who died 10 May 1884 aged 56 years. Also his brother James McAleavey who died 4 Sept 1886 aged 51 years. Also the above named Patrick McAleavey who died 15 Apr 1913 aged 83 years. R I P.
(In the 1870s Patrick McAleavey was a labourer at 130 Millfield)

Hi Kingskerswell, please could you take a look for George Dempsey about 1950.  Many thanks VB

[kingskerswell]

Vita Brevis,
               I have a record of two Dempsey graves, one for a child Mary 1873 erected by her father William and the other for Sir Alexander Dempsey MD and many of his family between 1885 and 1958. However there is no George.
