There are some Belfast cemetery records online (City, Dundonald & Roselawn). I don't have any Milltown records but believe another member does.


Thanks aghadowey

There are at least 11 townlands in Ireland called Ballymoney so don't be too quick in picking the town of Ballymoney in County Antrim.

Would this be any connection? see www.proni.gov.uk
"McGettrick Patrick William of 3 Fitzwilliam Avenue Belfast warehouseman died 27 September 1921 Administration (d.b.n.) Belfast 26 April to Thomas McGettrick draper. Unadministered effects £650. Former Grant Belfast 18 November 1921."

That looks very like it. Thanks Aghadowey

The family are buried in Milltown cemetery and I have been unable to contact anyone there. Did I read some where that you had some records of burials in Milltown?

The name changed from one T to two TT's after 1911 but there is a headstone and family plot. Can you check from the records who else is burried there and some dates? Sorry to impose

That was the civil record of the marriage? Sometimes fathers are not listed on a marriage record (if bride/groom illegitimate, father deceased, etc.) but the certificate has to list a residence for bride and groom which makes me wonder if you have the record from the church rather than the actual marriage certificate. (this was discussed earlier in this topic)

You are absolutely right I got the church cert and more details now emerge.
Married 9 October 1894
Bride Maggie A Woods
Residence Cootehill
Groom Patrick W.Mcgetrick
Residence Ballymoney
Brides Father James Woods (died)
Profession Flax Merchant
Grooms Father Patrick McGetrick
Profession Farmer
Witnesses Katie Woods  Joseph Lennon
It looks like Patrick W. although born in Sligo was living in Ballymoney presumeably in Co Antrim. His father Patrick may be in the Griffith Valuation as he is a farmer.  Thanks for your help all

Did you ever get the copy of the marriage certificate to see if either father is listed? What are the exact residences of bride and groom at the time of their marriage?
Yes, there are no addresses or reference to either fathers' occupations. The couple were over 21. The marriage took place in Drumgoon parish on 9 Octobber 1894 with witnesses Joesph Lennon and Theodora Wood (maybe a mistake but no "s").

Cavan / Patrick W. McGetrick Sligo & Maggie Woods Cootehill
« on: Wednesday 20 March 13 17:07 GMT (UK)  »
I have a little information on a family of McGetricks ans Woods. Patrick W. McGetrick was born in 1868 in Sligo and Maggie A Woods was born in Cootehill in 1870. Patrick and Maggie were married in 1895 in Drumgoon Church in Cootehill.
Patrick and Maggie by 1901 had five children and were living in Armagh in the commericial area of Upper English Street trading as Drapers. By 1911 the family had moved to Belfast.

I am looking for any connection with the Cavan link and Margaret Aloysius Woods and Patrick William McGetrick. Any help wopuld be greatly appreciated.

Would anyone like to put an age on Jane or Tommy. They are both around the same age (within three years Tommy is older). Jane died in 1917 she was 54 but Tommy lived to 1931. Tommy was a brass worker all his life and might explain about his hands. His left hand shows all the signs of hard work. and brass marks the hands and is difficult to clean off.  Interesting about the glove I didnt notice that before and you might be right John.

There is a sad story about Jane,

I have no idea about their ages. Thanks Carol for the rendering and you too Irene
