Dear Listmembers, I have learned that my great great grandmother Elizabeth Forsythe was buried in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am wondering if anyone of this list can tell me something about graveyards in Belfast and how one would go about searching for an ancestor buried there?

There are a number of graveyards in Belfast, the oldest being Friars Bush. Two of the largest ones are The City Cemetery and Milltown Cemetery. Another old one is Clifton Street Graveyard which operated pre 1780 to approx 1950. Carnmoney graveyard is on the outskirts of the city.. I suppose you may be able to get the address of the administration for each and all others through the internet or you could write to the Public Records Office City Hall Belfast for guidance in the matter. Note : Milltown is exclusively Catholic, while City Cemetery is mostly non catholic but does contain a number of catholic graves. Friars Bush is very old , dating from the mid 17th century, Clifton Street is no longer in operation but is open for historical tours as a number of famous local people are buried there.
