Family death mention in Belfast Newspaper

[thedownman93]

Hi

Sorry if this is in the wrong place for this. I have found a possible relation of mine, Paul Allen from Burt, Donegal was mentioned in the Belfast Newsletter, 1872.

I think his son William Allen, my direct ansector either became a catholic or was brought up in a mixed marriage.

Would anyone know why Paul Allen was listed in the Newsletter since he died and and lived in Burt?

Also in Belfast Telegraph 22 June 1872 and the Londonderry Standard 22 June 1872
Allen, June 19th at Toolette, Burt, Paul Allen age 81 years.

I would imagine that a family member had it put in the paper.

Thanks, didn't know about the BT one, would you be able to sent it over?
Possible it was my ancestor William or there was also the wife Eleanor at Burt.  I would'nt have known about any relations in Belfast.

If you were listed in the newsleter would that have only been for protestants?

You should be able to view it on British Newspaper Archive website, they offer a free trial.

Thanks and just one last question would that confirm Paul Allen was from a protestant background from the Belfast Newsletter? I think there may have been a mixed marriage

If the entries are all the same, there will be no further information.
