Please refresh my memory....Is Derriaghy far from Budore?
« on: Wednesday 22 February 17 18:59 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate if anyone could refresh my memory.

Is Derriaghy far from Budore? (I know it is not far from Belfast City. I have been to this area so many times but the names of certain areas is something else. I just know Tullyrusk as it is where many of my ancestors were buried and a lovely church Hannahstown. That is it.)

I THINK I might have found my ancestor's death record but I cannot ascertain if it is her or not....would the workhouse have details in their books? Or are the books no longer there?

Thank you for your help in advance!!

You can see Budore on this map- it's roughly between Belfast & Lough Neagh-

What date? Workhouse records probably in PRONI but restrictions might apply to records less than 100 years old.

Thanks, Aghadowey, for replying.

Is Derriaghy near or inside Budore? That is a better way of putting my question. Sorry if my previous question is not clear.

The record in question is from 1890s.

If you zoom in on that map from link I posted you'll see Derriaghy just south of Dunmurry.

You can check PRONI's e-catalogue to see what records they hold and there's also a Workhouse site which is very good- links under Antrim Resources, Workhouses
