Belfast Cemetery Records..Milltown

[stapler40]

Does anyone know why it is that the 'records' of Milltown Cemetery are now available on the web. It seems rather odd, given that the City cemetery records are now available, that these records are only available on site. Any suggestion fot us out of towners who would like to search for relatives known to be buried in Milltown.

Thanks

Bernard,
           If you give me details I will have a look on a microfiche which I have.

Basically looking for my grandparents:

Mary Catherine Hillick
Peter Hillick

Looking for sisters: Catherine and Ellen Hillick

Sorry about dates, but that is one severe disadvantage of not knowing your grandparents before we moved to Canada. I'm pretty sure that Mary Catherine died in mid 1970s whilst Peter is around 1956/57. As for my sisters Catherine and Ellen, sometime after 1940/

Thanks so very much for the help

Bernard,
           Sorry, I have had a look and none of your names were listed on my microfiche which is a transcription of headstones.

Regards

Wow, that is weird. Any transcriptions for the name Hillick?

Thanks

It's only recently that the Belfast cemetery records have been available online. The reason Milltown is not included is simple and explained on the site: "Please note that we do not look after, or hold records for, Milltown Cemetery or Knockbreda Cemetery. For more information, call Milltown Cemetery on 028 9061 3972 or Knockbreda Cemetery on 028 9049 4500."

Many people did not have headstones which may be why they are listed in kingkerswell's microfiche.

Such a pity. I would well imagine that there are hundreds of thousands buried there. thanks for the information.

Cheers

Milltown Cemetery would still have burial records so you could contact them with your query- sometimes a date of burial is needed for them to check through their ledgers but wouldn't hurt to ask.
