re Bernard McKeever Halliday, born 1 Mar 1901 in 75 Canmore St Belfast.
Family history says of his mother -
"her parents went to US
she was born in US
family came back to Belfast
came to Glasgow
lived in Shankhill Road (Note - Canmore St intersects with Shankill Rd)
Mrs Murphy had priest in who delivered Bernard
the priest's name was Father McKeever"
 
I'm trying to trace Fr McKeever - to determine if his first name was Bernard - if it's not, then the name Bernard would send me firmly in another direction.

I contacted St Malachy's and The Catholic Communication Office in Belfast , there is a Fr McKeever who was in St Malachy's in  Belfast, but he was ordained in 1903.  I thought perhaps a trainee priest might be doing pastoral work, and be referred to as "Father"?  Or perhaps a trainee priest visiting relatives in the area?
CCO thought perhaps Fr McKeever might not have been Catholic, but another denomination.
I've searched  directories, even looked for Mrs Murphy in Canmore St, nothing!  Even wondered if Ballymurphy could have been mistaken for Mrs Murphy?

I need advice on how to proceed next.

Anyone know any good active websites who keep lists of the Military personnel who settled in early Australia?
I tried to contact one to ask them to update their  entries for Mathew Walker, mentioned in a recent topic on this board.   No reply.
Any advice out there?

Back about 1946-47, I was off school, and stayed in Inverlochy for a year or so.    Most days I was on my own, and wandered the whole area freely, only went home when hunger drove me there.   I had the whole place to myself!
Walking up from Inverlochy towards the main Fort William road, there was a track to the left, I recall it took me onto the moors.   Along this track, there was a railway, I think it was a goods only line.   Further on I recall there was an old abandoned graveyard, only recognisable by the railings that once surrounded some of the graves.
No paths or roads leading to it as I recall.
Anyone know what this old graveyard was (or maybe is)?

Around 1994 I went to Spean Bridge to try and find my grandmother's grave.   I had a photo of a church with me, asked some locals did they recognise it.   No one did, but I went round a couple of churchyards anyway, with no luck.   I never got back.
The picture was of a lovely green painted timber built church, seemed to built on a small knoll overlooking the graveyard.
Anyone recognise this church?
