Alderman Patrick Campbell Of Lononderry

[Summerhill]

Can any one help with this one?  I am looking for any further information on my great Grandfather Patrick Campbell who was an alderman on Derry City Council when he died in 1916.  Patrick was born in 1872 in Ferguson St. Derry.
he married Anne Elizabeth Cummings in 1899. They had 4 sons James,John, Leo & Frederick.  I came across their tombstone on Find a grave.com, all is on the headstones are their names & deaths of death. No address. Derry city cemetery cant find the record for this burial.  I need an address in order to obtain further information from the  BMD office.

Any help greatly appreciated.

If you post his date of death, some kind individual going to the Newspaper Library in Belfast, may be able to look up his obituary in the local papers - as an Alderman he's sure to have got a write up in the Derry Journal/Sentinel and probably the Belfast papers as well (Newsletter/Telegraph/Northern Whig).

Mary Derry thats the right Man.  I have his birth cert here courtesy of Emereld Ancestors.  Eden reaghbeg your query with the Mayor will be great.  He was anAccountant & Stock Broker & House Agent with offices @9 castle Street, Derry.  His tombstone only states he was an Alderman, his date of death 1916 and his wife Annie & son Frederick (Freddy) & daughter in law Mary(May
 are buried with him. There is no address on the headstone.

I will go to the Cemetry offices and see if they can re check their records  if not as you say Maryderry the council offices should have some records of his last address or even the Central library should have copies of the 1916 Derry Journal or  Sentinal recording the death
watch this space Summerhill

[Summerhill]
