Thank you Pat

This might solve some questions as we have always assumed that when we get an address  "Shankill"  that it is near Carnmoney,maybe we can not find them because it may well be Armagh where we should be looking.

Thank you for your help and the site

There is a Shankill grave yard in Lurgan, County Armagh. Worthwhile trying, although it might be a dead end.

Shankill Parish Church, Christ the Redeemer,  Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland, postcode BT67 9AA as opposed to Parish of Shankill, [now St Anne's Cathedral], Belfast, Co. Antrim. Replacement link for the old broken one https://www.lurganancestry.com/sitemap.htm. See this post for Shankill, Belfast http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=353901.msg2317101#msg2317101

Gaelic = Old Church, if that's not too controversial at the moment!  ;D
