John Gordon McClure b 1869 Scotland died 1941 Belfast
« Reply #10 on: Saturday 01 June 13 15:24 BST (UK) »
I have recently discovered that John McClure died  11 February 1941 .

His address is given as "Carsluith" 23 , Stormount Park Belfast,

In his will he left his effects £10,373.9s.9d to his daughters Mary Elizabeth Rea , Maude Agnes McClure

and Albert Rea a civil servant.

I am now trying to find a marriage for Mary , and when she and Maude died and finally where John

might be buried . On 1911 census he gave his religion as "The Brethern",

Many thanks,

suzilad

ADDED -- I have just found John and his wife  Matilda  Ruth on a web site on this forum they are both
buried in Dundonald Cemetery Belfast.

Just came across the your last post on this thread. Regarding the Will Extract-
"McClure John Gordon of Carsluith 23 Stormont Park Belfast merchant died 11 February 1941 Probate Belfast 25 September to Mary Elizabeth Rea married woman Maude Agnew McClure spinster and Albert Rea civil servant. Effects £10373 9s. 9d."
- the names listed are not the beneficiaries but the people granted probate. You need to see the Will to see what bequests he made.

If the family were Brethern then they would most likely have been buried in either the local cemetery or an older family plot (Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or whatever). In this case it's a cemetery-
Dundonald Cemetery (D4 464) https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/
John Gordon Mcclure, age 72, 23 Stormont Park, died 11 Feb.1941 (buried 13 Feb.)
Matilda Ruth Mcclure, age 71, 23 Stormont Park, died 13 Jan.1932 (buried 15 Jan.).

Based on religion this is a possibility for Albert Rea's family-

Albert Rea & Mary McClure married 7 Sept.1922 Ards registration district.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
