Mary Ann(a) Terry (formerly Taylor)
« on: Friday 27 September 19 02:53 BST (UK) »
My great-grandmother was Mary Ann Terry (formerly Taylor)
She died on January 27, 1899 at the age of 25.
She died at home on Mark Street in Lurgan.
Her husband (my great-grandfather) was John Terry and he was a weaver.

I am trying to locate where she may have been buried.  In some instances, I have seen Shankill parish mentioned.  Any help would be appreciated.

you don't say what cemeteries you have searched and I'm not sure how much you know about the history of Lurgan and this is just a thought, but the existing Lurgan Hospital which is close to Union St and Mark street was originally a Workhouse and in the 1840s it also included a 40 bedded Fever Hospital ( you mentioned your relative died of TB ) . the dead were buried in an adjacent graveyard.
Lurgan & Portadown District Hospital didn't open until 1929 so the Fever Hospital might have been still operating when your family member died.

The Lurgan fever hospital opened with 40 beds but a further 50 were soon added.
"In 1929, the workhouse became Lurgan and Portadown District Hospital, later Lurgan Hospital. Much of the original buildings have now been demolished."

Thank you.  On my great-grandmother's death certificate, it mentions that her occupation was "veiner".  Is there any historical info on that term?
