Thank you. I checked papers but couldn't spot anything. It seems odd that he would be buried with a random family but I suppose there is a valid reason somewhere.

I did spot those but couldn't see any connection to Paul anywhere. I did wonder if someone buried him there for an unrelated reason (maybe he was there gardener and they counted him as family)

Antrim / Paul Whelan death 1908

Hi everyone

I have just come across a findmygrave entry for my 3x great grandfather Paul Whelan. He died 22/5/1908 in Belfast and for some reason he was buried with a family by the name of McDermott.

the inscription reads - Erected by James MeDermott in memory of his mother Margaret McDermott who died 25th April 1891 aged 64 years Also above-named James McDermott who died 26th Jany 1907 and his wife Ellen McDermott who died 25th Decr 1907 Also in memory of Paul WHELAN who died 22nd May 1908 R I P

Above someone has written the on entry - cross ref: Margaret McDermott died 25 April 1891

I know of all Paul's children as well as his wife etc. I was wondering why he may be buried with this family and they have even gone as far as to mention him.

He was a nursery gardene and was from Kildare originally.

Kind regards

Dan

Don't know if this has been found already but the marriage between Charles McAuley and Anne McIlheron took place on 8th Feb 1875 at Cushendall RC Church.

Fathers names for both were Henry McAuley and Alexander McIlheron.

Witnesses were Patrick Mckeesick and Rose Mckillop

He was listed as a labourer but on the 1911 census he was down as a foundry labourer.

Antrim / Joseph McKenna 1901 census help
« on: Wednesday 01 May 24 15:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

My great great grandfather Joseph McKenna born 2 Jan 1876 in Co Tyrone married Agnes Murphy on then 26 April 1899 at St Paul in Belfast. Agnes was a year younger than Joseph and was born in Belfast.

They had a daughter Margaret McKenna born 28 June 1899 while they were living at 25 Clonard street. Margaret died 9 April 1900 and they were living at 21 Lanark street.

They had another daughter Mary Catherine McKenna born 21 May 1901 and were living at 16 Calligan street.

2 more children were born in 1903 (Joseph 25 Clonard street) and 1905 (Agnes 31 Springfield Village).

Agnes died 1907 and the address was 31 Springfield Village.

The 1911 census has the 2 girls living with their grandparents (William and Margaret) at 25 Clonard street and Joseph and his son Joseph living at 28 Varna street (it actually says 28.2),

I am struggling to find Joseph and Agnes on the 1901 census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
