Thanks, Jim.

I'll pop down there some time.
It'll be an opportunity to browse in the Oxfam bookshop in Rosemary Street while I'm there.

Hi Magheragall,

Thanks for that. I had something very similar but the year was 1875, not 1864, same month though as I had a death date of 26 January 1875. The Henrietta who died in 1875 was the wife of John Mussen, the minister of Magheragall C of I. I think she would have been 64 or 64 when she died so that fits too.

Could this record be for the same person do you think?

[HughC]

I thought there might have been an announcement in the Belfast News-Letter,
but could find nothing in the two weeks following 26 Jan. in either 1864 or 1875.

Hi,
   The female Mussen who died on 26 Jan 1875 is named in The PRONI wills site as HARRIETT. There is also an image of the actual will.

Hi all

Sorry for causing confusion, I think it was too late to be posting details, for me, too sleeply

THe burial of Heneritta was 1875 and aged 64, I have put the age into the date of burial, my mistake.

You had also asked about R Mussen on earlier post, the entry in Clergy of Connor compiled by Canon Leslie
