Tyrone / Donaghmore old cemetery
« on: Thursday 11 February 16 05:34 GMT (UK) »
Hello - I have a reference in an old family letter [about 1918] to an old cemetery where a family member was buried that year. Was there a cemetery in or near Donaghmore that was considered old at that time?
The letter writer was my great aunt Julia Brown who was from Kilnaslee, Pomeroy. It was her aunt Sarah [Sally] Brown nee Smith/Smyth that had died. Sally had married David Brown of Kilmore. Whatever cemetery it was, also buried there were several Brown families including the Charlie Browns and the Bill Browns of Blackhill and also a Shaw family that is related to the deceased woman.
These people would likely have been Presbyterian or perhaps Church of Ireland.
I've looked at a variety of maps including this one which shows churches by religion: http://www.historyfromheadstones.com/
but have had no joy yet.
Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
