Hi,
    As Hill and Martha were married in Magheragall Church of Ireland that might be a good place to start.

There might not be a headstone but if they are buried in Magheragall Church of Ireland then the burial register might indicate they are there and a graveyard map (if there is one) might at least show a plot.

"Lilley Hill of 137 Longstone Street Lisburn county Antrim retired labourer died 6 November 1938 at County Mental Hospital Antrim Probate Belfast 5 December to Robert Courtland Bannister solicitor. Effects £606 13s. 10d."

If there's a death notice in the local newspaper, and in this case there may not have been, then it might say where the burial was taking place.

Also the Will file at PRONI might possibly mention arrangements.

Thanks for your help ,im fairly new to this and cant seem to find much information about BDM in Ireland online ,I have an ancestry membership but without maiden names etc im seem to be a bit stuck ,hopefully ill improve as time goes on ,many thanks again

Do you mean Martha's maiden name? Using a variety of free online searches (not Ancestry)-

Hill Lilly, son of Thomas, m.(2 March 1879 Lisburn district) Martha Hodgen.

Do you want me to search for children?

Hi ,I was looking for Martha Hodgen's( born 1858) ,place of birth ,and mother and fathers name ,plus Hill lilley's( born 1858) place of birth and mother and fathers name ,I already have the names of the children born to Hill and Martha ,if you could help I would be most grateful ,thank you

Unfortunately only fathers are listed on Irish marriage certificates. I found that Hill's father was Thomas but couldn't get a match for Martha to see a father's name but you can try searching here-

Added- marriages usually take place in the bride's church so you could start looking for Martha's family in Magheragall.

Hi,
   Martha Hodgen's father was called Samuel. The marriage is recorded as LILLY/Hodgen.
