Sounds interesting… let’s see what they come back with. 👍

Somebody suggested that copies may be held in the local library - I’ll try contacting them.

Hi there - I have death certificates for my Great great grandparents, William Brady and Susan Boyle, who married at Duneane RC Chapel in 1855.
I’ve looked in Cargin Chapel graveyard on a visit some years back, but can’t find a headstone or plot for them. I’m wondering if they may have been buried at Moneyglass Cemetery instead?

William Brady - died 1892 Ballylurgan, Duneane
Susan Brady (Boyle) - died 1877 Ranaghan, Duneane

There’s also a possibility that Susan Brady (nee Boyle) may be buried in a Boyle grave, along with her daughter Elizabeth Keyland (nee Brady), if this helps…

Does anybody living locally have the time to do a quick search at Moneyglass for me please? I do know of a large Brady plot just near the gate, but there are no forenames on it as far as I know. Is there a register of plots anywhere for Moneyglass that may list the people interred in that plot?

Thank you so much for any help.

That’s fantastic! Thank you both for all your help.

Mary Ann Greer married Thomas Nixon at Salford Cathedral on 9th July, 1889. Witnesses were Augustino Donohue and Sophia Hyndman. Mary Ann’s parents were Michael and Mary Greer.
We think Mary Ann was born about 1864 in Co Antrim, based on census ages. Her mother married Andrew Hyndman in the Church of Ireland church of St Anne’s, Belfast in 1870 and they had further children who were step-siblings to my Mary Ann. One of them was Sophia Hyndman, the witness above, who married Austin Donohoe the other witness.
The marriage of her mother to Andrew Hyndman states that she was a Spinster not a Widow - so she obviously wasn’t married to Michael Greer. The odd thing, is that she is also a Greer - so they either shared the surname or my Mary Ann was a product of an incestuous relationship?
Mary Greer (the mother) also states on her marriage that her father was Robert.
As far as I know, the step-siblings (Hyndman) were born in Co Antrim and Salford.
Mary Ann married Thomas Nixon a hairdresser from Preston and they had my Grandmother Ellen in 1898… but I’m not aware that she had a brother.
