Gwyther – February 4 1938 Margaret

[Magheragall]

Hello

not sure if this is Down or Antrim side of Belfast

A little while since I have been on this site but I know you are good at helping. I am trying to help a woman to find where this is woman is buried.

We think woman who died was church of ireland , perhaps st columbas knock and don't think there is a headstone because family left Ireland after the death. The death notice we have is below. Could be buried with her parents because her family left Belfast & never return

     Gwyther – February 4 1938 Margaret dearly beloved wife of AE Gwyther 78 Shandon Park Belfast and daughter of the late Lieutenant Colonel James Duffield & Mrs Duffield. Funeral Strictly Private.

yours

Her father's service was in St.James Parish Church and he is buried in Carnmoney Churchyard 1925.

thank you Sinann, is that a church of ireland grave yard , are there records online  I do think that is a possible burial site given her own family moved away.

thanks

I'm just going by newspaper reports of his death but they clearly say he was an active member of the Church of Ireland.
Not having much luck with Carnmoney records so far hopefully someone will know.

You could contact Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council, Cemeteries Office to find out more about the Carnmoney cemeteries.

A Mr A E Gwyther was people's churchwarden at  St Columba's church, Knock in 1938 according to a mention in newspaper of time,  which looks to be CofI http://www.coiknock.org/ws/ , which ties with your thoughts that fa ily had links to there.

Also indexed at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/G/GriGy.htm, saying he was warden in 1937 and 1938.

Thank you all ever so much

I have contacted council & they have Carnmoney records & the don't have her or her father on records, so they gave me a contact for the Church of Ireland at Carnmoney, phoned them & they are going to look up records to hopefully
 confirm her fathers burial ie James Duffield in Sept 1925 & see if Margaret was also buried with her parents.   

I checked the Belfast cemetery records online and no joy, so if her funeral was St Columba's Knock which seems likely I will contact them after hearing from carnmoney C of I.

Thank you very much, hoping to find this grave
