Hi Folks,
I need some help in tracing the death of Margaret Eliza Forrest,
[born c. 1846] my x2 great grand-aunt who died some time after
8.1.1917 probably in the Waterside, Derry.
I came across the following details in the National Archives of
Ireland:
EXTRACT FROM PARISH REGISTER (NAI MFGS. 55/2) [for purposes of OAP claim]
Date of receipt: 8 January 1917
Full Name of Applicant: Margaret Eliza Forrest
Address: Care of Rev. J Jennings, Waterside, Londonderry
Full names of Father and Mother of Applicant: George and Anne Forrest
Parish church in which applicant was baptised: Balteagh [near Limavady]
Year of Baptism: 1846
Register searched by HD [applicant not found]
Found:
1839 George Forest of Ballyquin [NB, my g.g. grandfather]
1842 Robert Forrest of Terrydram'd [Terrydremond].
In an earlier claim form [1915] she gave her name as Margaret Eliza
McVikers nee Forest.
I have searched the civil marriage register for Forrest/McVickers without sucess.
So I am trying to trace Margaret Forrest or Margaret McVickers in
the Waterside of L'Derry after 1917.
Any help or suggestions would be greatfully received!
