« on: Wednesday 24 August 11 13:36 BST (UK) »

Help plzzzz can anyone help me to find a death of Francis Niell born28.11.1882Belfast n. Ireland father john
He was a piano tuner and also Bandmaster in Belfast 2nd corps Salvation Band
He moved to Royton Oldham in lancs and married on 5.8.1911 shortly after thier marriage moving back to Belfast with his wife Amy where Frank as he was known died ,He was struck by lightening after taking shelter under a tree, I am led to believe it was a very large funeral and posible put in press
Amy and Francis had 3 children all born in Belfast but only one survived he was William john Neill born 1912 the 3 born in Irelan we have not been able to find, Amy was caryring Francis last child when she lost her husband she also lost her child think this would have been abt 1919
Any help on Francis death along with her children would be more than appriciated
Thanks again for all other help Roots Chaters have given me
