Hi,
That would definitely be her as her daughter Hannah (Maggie) who is my great grandmother was from Dundonald and I know of other relatives being buried there. Thank you for this! Do you know why so many people shared a grave? Hugh was her son but I don't recognise the other names? xx

Well, we are all agreeing, so must be getting somewhere :)

Samuel Johnston, labourer, is listed for quite a few years in Belfast directories at 6 Carew Street.
Is there in 1932. So that might be him. Possibly.
See lennon wylie for directories
https://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/

And we know he died before 1944.

There's potentially this death in 1940.
Samuel   Johnston   29th April 1940       77      Male        Belfast

Birth registrations of the Belfast children give maiden name of mother Mary as Forsythe

There's still the issue of Mary's MMN being Forsythe and NOT Green.

I've fully come to terms with her name being forsythe and not green. Not too sure where I got green from - I must have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5 at one point - my grandad died before I was born in the mid 80's and so I don't have any info that I've actually been told, my nan (his wife) doesn't remember too much about his family so I'm starting from scratch with this search xx
