I've just recently found records for ancestors buried in Belfast City Cemetery [#C.49]
Occupants of grave C 49, City Cemetery
Forename Surname Age Date of death Date of burial Cemetery Details Record image
Samuel Ayre 39 Years 29 November 1879 2 December 1879 City Cemetery View details
Margaret Hill 35 Yrs 5 April 1886 8 April 1886 City Cemetery View details
John Hoey 60 20 November 1903 22 November 1903 City Cemetery View details
Jane Hoey 70 Yrs 3 May 1892 5 May 1892 City Cemetery View details
William Hoey Senr 65 Yrs 16 March 1873 19 March 1873 City Cemetery View details
ie my 2xG GF and GM, William and Jane Hoey (nee Barnett), plus two of their children, John Foster Hoey and a married daughter, Margaret Hill, nee Hoey.
the fifth occupant, Samuel Ayre, is a puzzle though - Neither of these given names crop up at all anywhere in my Hoey tree. His details as below.
Record details
Name of deceased Mr Samuel Ayre
Last place of residence 56 Clonallen Street
Age 39 Years
Sex
Date of death 29 November 1879
Date of burial 2 December 1879
Cemetery City Cemetery
Grave section and number C 49
Burial Type Earth
I found this article about his death in the Belfast Newsletter - halfway down second column, DEATH UNDER PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES
(Not sure if this link will work unless you are logged in to 19th century British Newspapers ...)
I can't see any link as yet between him and the Hoeys. Can anyone come up with any explanation as to why he is buried with them?
is it possible that there is no connection and he is simply buried in the wrong plot?
