A new message, "McILROY & SEABRIGHT," was posted by Bart McILROY on Sun, 12 Dec 1999 on the Galveston County, Texas, Genealogy web page Queries section: Surname: BYRNE, FERN, LAWN, McDOUGALL, McILROY, McKELVEY, GENTTNER, HUBER, SCHULTHEISS, SHARP, SPAETH Posted by: Bart McILROY EMAIL: B_J_McILROY_SR@email.msn.com DATE: Dec 12 1999 "Grandfather McIlroy died in Galveston Texas. Buried on property of Seabright family." Those two sentences give me the only clue to the possible location of my grandfathers remains; and the author of them is deceased. They refer to Bernard J. McILROY, born about 1880 in Lanarkshire, Scotland. He immigrated to the USA about 1925 and resided, for a time, in Long Island, New York. McILROY relocated with his employer (Seabright ???) to Texas. His employer operated a (garden) nursery in New York and may have been in the same business in Texas. McILROY may have died between 1940 and 1955. He may have been known as Barney, or Scotty, or Mac; and his surname may have been misspelled as McELROY. The (Texas) Bureau of Vital Statistics did a preliminary search four years ago (before the Galveston and Seabright information was known to me) and did not find any record of McILROYs death. They advised me, at that time, that burials on private property were sometimes not properly reported. Is there a Seabright Family property in the Galveston area? Where? Is it large enough to have its own cemetery? Is it opened to the public? Is McILROY buried there? I will appreciate any assistance offered on these questions. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Bart.
