The probate extract DOES NOT say that she died in Londonderry- please read what it says- her address was Londonderry and probate was granted there but place of death is not mentioned. Her Will should be on file at PRONI, Belfast.

You could check Derry papers for a death notice which might give place of death. If she's buried in Derry City Cemetery they might have place of death in their records but I understand they now charge for lookups.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi,
   I'm not sure if this helps but on 5 Dec 1901 James Foster married Martha Burnett in Strand Second Presbyterian Church, Londonderry.

Since my last posts I have been back to Muff and found that Frances McConnell (nee Brooks) is buried in the CoI churchyard in Muff in the McConnell grave with her husband and in laws. There is a small exercise book which served as a register and is now back in the church office at St Peter's in Derry which serves the group of parishes.   My mil and fil's ashes are now scattered there too. 
A cousin of Bob's was one time minister of Greenbank Presbyterian church and he confirmed that there was no burial register when he was there in the 1970s.

I haven't been on Rootschat for some time - good to be back!
