Burials from Ballymacarrett

[mandrake]

I have found a few of my family buried in Knock Burial Ground but need a lead as to where to look for the others. What cemetery would people from Ballymacarrett/Knockbreda have used mid to late 1800s? I know Dundonald didnt open until early 1900s. Anyone who has found descendants graves who were from this area? Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello Mandy,

I imagine that the Old Knockbreda Cemetery is a possibility. There is also a new cemetery at Knockbreda which was first established in 1905 by the Knockbreda Parish Church.

Hi Mandy
I think Belfast City cemetery is a possibility and I believe the old Priory cemetery in Holywood, Co Down is another.

BTW i think there may have been an old cemetery on the Newtownards Rd that has since been build over.

There was a cemetery between Montrose St and Belvoir St on Newtownards Rd behind what is now East Belfast Mission(Methodist)

Hi Mandy,

Knockbreda details (old and new grave yards) are held by Castlereagh Council. offices are at Forestside, Belfast.
