Moylena Friends burying-ground

This would have been a Quaker graveyard. Your ancestor must have been a Quaker.

Thanks, Patricia. I knew that the Friends are Quakers. My problem was that I couldn't find any trace of such a graveyard on the web. I think I have found it now, though I don't know if it's going to help me find out more about my ancestor.

Hi John,

Perhaps the following info from Irish Genealogy Toolkit might be of help:

• The Dublin Friends Historical Library has records for Irish Quakers in the Republic of Ireland. Contact the Religious Society of Friends, Quaker House, Stocking Lane, Rathfarnham, Dublin 6.

• The Religious Society of Friends mainly has records for Northern Ireland. Contact at Lisburn Meeting House, Prospect House, 4 Magheralave Road, Lisburn, County Antrim.

In addition, both the National Library of Ireland in Dublin and PRONI in Belfast have some copies of these records. So, too, does the LDS Church (Mormons).

Good luck!

Thanks again, Patricia.

I've been trying to get to the website of the Religious Society of Friends in Northern Ireland; that should be an easier way to enquire than transAtlantic mail. But it's constantly down. I will keep trying, and send them a letter if it gets to seem that the website will never be fixed.
