where would they be buried?
« on: Sunday 01 July 12 16:02 BST (UK) »
My Campbell family were from the Donaghadee - Ballycopeland area and lived there around 1840 - 1880 (maybe for even longer).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for which graveyard they might be buried in?  It looks like some of them became Methodists because they where married in Donagadee Methodist church and others were Presbyterians.

I know the later generations are buried in Movilla Cemetery.

Thanks for the link Jim but I'm afraid it's not my lot.  TBH I'm puzzled what graveyard Methodists were buried in.

Always worth trying local (Parish) Church of Irelabd burying ground (those of other faiths may not be listed in the burial register).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
