Hello Therese,

What is your location ? It is hard to advise you where to search or what to do next without knowing where you have been searching for a record of the deaths and burials of Ann and Thomas.

If you are in the north of Ireland have you tried the records of the Rosemary Street Presbyterian Church ? If you are not in the north of Ireland has someone tried those records on your behalf ?

Was Thomas Jnr the only member of the family who emigrated ?  If the whole family emigrated you need to know where they lived in Australia and do the search there.

Best Wishes,    Christopher

Thankyou, Christopher

I'm in New Zealand so research is limited. Am awaiting a Belfast directories film at our Latter Day Saints.

I have searched the gravestone inscription books for Shankill, Milltown, Friars Bush
and the New Burying Ground. I need to go back to the Shankill one for the Smith
family as I didn't have their name when I searched that.
Have joined  AncestryIreland and gathered a little information there.

I had a kind person who was going to look at the Rosemary Street records but never heard back.

Thomas Jnr was the only family member on the boat he emigrated on in 1853. We have reason to believe Archibald emigrated to New Zealand sometime before 1865 but have no proof it was the Archibald Brown from this family. I have the details
of the family in Australia.

Thanks
Therese
