Title: Belfast Newsletter (1738 - 1925) - Births, Deaths and Marriages notices
Post by: damker7 on February 22, 2013, 10:30:03 AM
Hello everyone,

I have access to these records, the collection isn't complete but if you're trying to find out for example; where a relative was buried, it may prove useful.

If anyone wants me to look up a certain date to see if details were published in the Belfast Newsletter, post them here along with the name and I'll have a look.

Thank you for such a terrific offer. 

May I ask if there is any mention of the two William John McCaughan (en) passed away 23rd December 1905 at 36 Mount Street. Belfast, also, his wife that might be a little harder.  Ann M'Caughen  passed away in the Apr-May-Jun 1900 age 77 years. believe same address  The spelling on the BMDs you will note is slightly different.

Once again thanks for a great offer.

Richard

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately in 1905 the collection only goes up to September, so I wasn't able to look for William.  But I did look up newspapers in December 1906 in case someone had placed an 'in memoriam' notice but there wasn't any.

I looked in all the newsletter papers in April / May / June in 1900 but no Ann I'm afraid.  I even looked up March and July just in case.

If there are any other names and dates I can help you with let me know.

Thank you for your help on the search. Pity nothing found but now I know for certain.  Very much appreciated.

If I can prevail one more time and that will be it.  Alexander Moore (my Great-Grandfather) passed away 16th April 1921 of 32 Lawther Street. Belfast. age 70 years   I am still trying to find where he came from. s o, many family stories, not sure what to believe. If there was an obit it would certainly help.

Regards

Richard

Hi Kassie

Unfortunately those names don't appear in the notice section of the Newsletter for the years given. I even looked a few weeks either side of the date to be sure.

Hello X7dx

Thank you for the details on the Moore burials. I did already have those, and it was because of published burials on-line  that I have found another Moore cousin still residing in Belfast. I have written but as yet no reply.

The answer to the marriage question, IGI have a record of William J McCaughan and Ann Telford marrying December 9th 1842, Belfast. so no marriage certificate to apply for there as too early for certs.   The date or I should say year,  sounds correct as their children were baptised at St Anne’s. Belfast  A distant cousin on his last visit to Proni searched for the marriage without any success, so they may have married elsewhere in Belfast.

May I thank you for your interest and your time spent searching on my behalf

Richard

You are very welcome Richard, I just wish that I could have found a notice for one of your relatives.  Even with research into my own family, there were very few notices placed in the Newsletter but when I found one it was very worthwhile.  Hopefully I can find notices soon to help other forum members.  If you have any other names and dates let me know.

Good luck with your search into the marriage between William J McCaughan and his wife Ann, you probably already have the following details but I did a few quick searches and verified them on two different websites just in case:

Samuel McCaughan born 1845, Co Antrim (Father: William McCaughan, Mother: Ann Telford)
Maria Ann McCaughan born 1849, Co Antrim (Father: William John McCaughan, Mother: Ann Telford)
Susanna McCaughan born 1852, Co Antrim (Father: William John McCaughan, Mother: Ann Telford)
Elizabeth McCaughan born 1860, Co Antrim (Father: William John McCaughan, Mother: Ann Telford)

Hi again z7dx

Thank you for the information,  I did have three of the four of the McCaughan‘s, but Susanna was new to me.  The last hour I had spare at Proni a few years back I did manage to find the other three. Maria Ann McCaughan married my Great Grandfather Alexander Moore at St Anne’s 10/11/1875 (Certificate) and Elizabeth McCaughan, (that’s how she spelt her surname with an ‘E‘) who never married,  I do have copies of letters that she had sent to my late Mother, she sounded a really lovely lady.

Now I believe for this couple William and Ann they had at least eight children

Thank you for all your time on this subject. Very much appreciated.

Regards

Richard

Could you please check if there are any records for the death of Edward Noble? He died on either the 12th or 13th of October 1906, I have conflicting reports... I'm trying to find any information about his parents.

10 October 1906 , Belfast, Northern Ireland
A FALL OF FORTY FEET
Last evening a Ligoniel man named Edward Noble, aged about forty years, and employed at Messrs. Workman, Clark, & Co.'s, fell from some staging on one of the vessels in the course of construction, a distance of about forty feet. He was removed to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where it was found he was suffering from a severe scalp wound and concussion, and also severe shock. He lies in a precarious condition.

Hi Val,
If you haven't already done so, you should buy the burial certificate from https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/BurialRecordDetails.aspx?RecordID=7895.5863 (https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/BurialRecordDetails.aspx?RecordID=7895.5863)
(£1.50) it might give you details of family that purchased the grave and details of death? It's a pity, he seems to be the only Noble family member buried in the plot, the others being McArthur/Archer.
 
Edward Noble. 16 Limehill St. Ligoniel. Age 37 Years.
Date of death 12 October 1906

Hi,
 
Newcastle Street was bombed in the blitz on 15/16th April 1941, Belfast was bombed again on 4/5th May 1941. Is it then possible that your Grandmother may have been buried from a relative's address? How sure are you of the date of death? I ask this because there is a record of a Catherine Hamilton died in Walton Street which was also bombed. This Catherine was buried a week after she died instead of the 2/3 days which was normal - probably because of the high numbers of burials.

Hi z7dx, I have just discovered your post and i think it is very generous of you to offer this resorce not to mention your time. I have been trying without much success to discover where my great great grandfather James Shearer was buried. He died on 11th March 1918 and I believe at that time he was living off the Shankill Road in 63 Wigton Street. Would you mind checking to see if you could find anything? Thanks.

Would you look up Eliza Jane McPherson Hunter who died  9 Jan 1855 in Memphis, United States married to William Hunter.  This was reported in the Belfast Newsletter according to ancestry.com, but to view on ancestry, I would have to upgrade.  Really appreciate you doing this!

Don't know about the Belfast Newsletter, but the Banner of Ulster of 27 February 1855 carried this:
On the 9th ultimo, at Memphis, United States, America, Eliza Jane M Pherson, wife of Wm. Hunter, late of Ballyquin, Dungiven, County Derry.

The Belfast Commercial Chronicle of 28 February 1855 showed a different date:
January 29, at Memphis, United States, America, Eliza Jane M'Pherson, wife of Mr. Wm. Hunter, late of Ballyquin, Dungiven, county Derry.

Joseph McLeod, a Protestant, born 1896 died in Belfast 25th October 1920 at Foundry aged 24, a Labourer.

I think that was a reference to a Riot in Foundry Street, he was rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital.

Died from shock following laceration of the brain by gunshot wound s unlawfully inflicted by Harry Megraw, although another source names the accused murderer, who was found not guilty, as a Catholic youth called Henry McGrath.

Certificate received from James Graham Coroner for Belfast, inquest held 1st November 1920, death registered 2nd November

Joseph was a resident of 45 Church Street East, which is about 100 yards east of Harland Street, both streets were on the northern side of the Newtownards Road and both of their southern ends joined the Newtownards Road, Church Street East was along the eastern side of Saint Patrick's Church of Ireland which is on the northern side of the Newtownards Road. Foundry Street was in the same area.

Ask the other forum members for a second opinion about this, but given the area, Knockbreda Cemetery seems like a likely possibility. https://tinyurl.com/y9uuxxdd (https://tinyurl.com/y9uuxxdd)

My great aunt was known as Susan Riani but apparently she was born Assunta Maria if that helps. They also lived in St James although that was much later.

Also if you would be able to check if there was a newspaper record of Italiano/Etaliano/Charles Riani who died 8 Jan 1961 and was exhumed around 10th May 1961 or maybe after from Miltown cemetary. Apparently it did hit the newspapers?

Much appreciated.

This Maria was born Mary Ellen Sherlock 22 Dec 1901. I am not sure if she was in fact the daughter of Italiano/ Charlie Riani as he is not mentioned on her birth certificate. My Grandfather Luigi was born 1910, His other sister Assunta Maria/Susan was born approx 1911/1912. I thought it may havd been later as I found no record. She and my great grandmother Rosina/ Rose were flower sellers at Belfast City Hall.

Already checked. It's more likely she was born after 8 Aug 1917 (today minus 100 years).
You'd need her death certificate to confirm her age when she died.

Hi Beresford

I checked these records at www.ancestry.co.uk and there is no mention of them but the original post does state these records are not complete.  They are not buried in any of the Belfast City Council cemeteries  https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/burialSearch.aspx

Your best option would be to go to the newspaper library in Library Street, Belfast and check all the Belfast newpapers yourself or get someone to do this for you and hope you can find a death notice which should state where the burial took place

I believe that from various other posts of yours that you found that the family had a burial plot in Bangor New Cemetery ?, on the Newtownards Road in Belfast.

If so, you might be able to get some information about that here.
Some records are online, and they also offer a lookup service for associate members, and such membership costs £18.

                        same or a notice in the paper.

                         I have tried the new cemetery, but was looking for the name ballance.

James James - This is wonderful, thank you so much - I have to decide whether he is 9003 in the Army Vet. Corps or maybe 6507.  Have to go out.  Will look in depth later and let you know.  Thanks again, I am sure he is one of these and I hadn't found them before.

James James 6507 doesn't say where he fought whereas 9003 says Balkans.  It looks like that is more likely...

Hi could you look to see if there is anything relating to the burial of Joseph Mc Cloud who died in October 1920 . He was my maternal grandmother's brother and was shot on the Newtownards Road going home from work during some "troubles". if I could locate his grave perhaps I might find my Great grandfather . thanks in anticipation.

At a brief glance I found a Joseph McCloud who was born in October 1898 in Bridgetown, Glasgow when his father Joseph was 30 and his mother Alice (nee Connery) was 28.  He had one brother and 4 sisters.  He died on 20th October 1920 in Belfast aged 22. His sister Tresse was born 1900 and Martha 8th February 1909.  Alice died in 1918 aged 49 in Belfast.  His grandparents were Joseph McCloud 1845-1900 and Theresa Dempsey 1847-1906.

I still can't find any death for Thomas Johnston who was wounded in June 1915 in Gallipoli but apparently made it home and possibly went off again to India in 1921 but there the trail goes cold.  I wonder if he returned to die in Belfast.

Also still can't find out why Robert Prescott McClelland was in Belfast County Jail for 7 years sometime between 1912 - 1925.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

@Valkerr I know this is an old forum, but I came across it when doing a bit of idle browsing, trying to find images of Ligoniel in the 1960s. Seems highly likely that the Edward Noble in question is my Great Grandad. I can remember as a very young child hearing the story of someone who had died after a fall in the shipyards. It's one of those memories that resurfaces from time to time, I heard it maybe 45 years ago. I was never quite sure of the context, so it was quite strange to see your post and have it all tie up!

Could you please check if there are any records for the death of Edward Noble? He died on either the 12th or 13th of October 1906, I have conflicting reports... I'm trying to find any information about his parents.

10 October 1906 , Belfast, Northern Ireland
A FALL OF FORTY FEET
Last evening a Ligoniel man named Edward Noble, aged about forty years, and employed at Messrs. Workman, Clark, & Co.'s, fell from some staging on one of the vessels in the course of construction, a distance of about forty feet. He was removed to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where it was found he was suffering from a severe scalp wound and concussion, and also severe shock. He lies in a precarious condition.

"Catherine Hamilton (Katie Foster)"

looking for the death/burial of Catherine Hamilton nee Foster, born 1870/ to John Foster and Ellen McKibbin.

She married Joseph Hamilton in 1890 and lived at 17 Newcastle Street.

She was my paternal great grandmother, but I don't know when she died or where she is buried (my dad thinks it was in the 1930's).

Any help appreciated, Hilary.
