I think the Brookwood Memorial is just that -a memorial; buried somewhere else. But I appreciate your interest and that of everybody else who has replied. I will pursue via the Presbyterian churches in the Ballymena area.

Presbyterians may be buried in the own churchyard (if there is one), in the Parish (Church of Ireland) churchyard or a local cemetery so sometimes it's not easy to discover where a burial took place (especially since most Presbyterian churches don't keep burial records).

Hi Aghadowey.

Yes, I've come across this problem before. Don't think there's any alternative to the long slog through local church records.

you could write to a local paper asking for information in Ballymena, or the local council in Ballymena.
