Baird Grave
« on: Tuesday 05 December 17 16:45 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for the grave of a Letitia Baird (maiden name Mowbray). She was born on 30/01/1903, under the surname of Mulberry, in Killymallaght to David Mulberry and Letitia Townsley. On 26/12/1934 she married William Baird, marriage was registered in Strabane. They had two children. I was told that she died when her children were young so I was thinking around the 1940s/1950s. I know she died before William because he married a Mary Mowbray (maiden name Simpson). Mary had been married to Letitia's uncle Jacob Mulberry. Letitia was Church of Ireland before becoming a Presbyterian. I was told that she did live in Drumahoe with her husband and children.

Have you checked GRONI's database for her death? It won't list a place of burial but you will get an exact date to use for checking newspaper announcements (sometimes funeral arrangements are listed in death notice) and other records.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello, I think the grave you are looking for belongs to my grandmother, Letitia Mowbray. She married my grandfather, William Baird in the Derry area. They had two children Isobel Letitia (my mother born 1935) and David (my Uncle). Letitia and should be buried in Killaloo Church of Ireland cemetery beside the Church of Ireland church.
