Last month Dr William Roulston of the Ulster Historical Foundation gave a superb talk online about the churchyards of my home town of Carrickfergus. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has now madethe talk available online. You can find it at https://youtu.be/kQpr8dnTGzk and presented below for convenience.
(At 14 minutes and 40 seconds in you'll see Joymount (2nd) Presbyterian Church, where my parents married in 1969, and where I attended the Boys Brigade for 2 years before switching to a different company in the town's North Street based First Presbyterian Church, also mentioned later in the talk. Joymount Church is located at the end of Robinson's Row, where my grandmother lived until she passed away in 1978, and where I briefly lived from 1979-1981!)

Thanks for this link - one of 'my' graves in St Nicholas's is featured in the talk!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! The church I ended up in, First Presbyterian, Carrickfergus, was just across the road from it, so I know it well - I also sang in my school choir once in St. Nick's!
