Hi folks, sometime ago I learned about Surname Search Daily, a daily listing of free databases and a few ads. It's 'good' because these are global: so if you are in Australia or Texas, there might be 'hits'. It aggregates these from various other sources -- these aren't SSD's databases. I'm forwarding one below that includes tombstones from Billy, Antrim, Northern Ireland. At the bottom is onfo on how to subscribe. I'm off to check the Billy tombstones now.....

With and estimated 13000 names of individuals involved in either marriage ceremonies or funeral rites, this is a valuable collection of information. Some notices from the surrounding states of Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina can also be found here. According to author Brent Holcomb, "This volume can help pin down some rather obscure persons and prove family connections not otherwise ascertainable."
