Stewart Lavery, Lisburn Co. Antrim
The last posts reminded me of a recent trip to our local Family History Centre.I was reading a microfilm of Monument
Inscriptions at Lisburn Cathedral, Co. Antrim and saw this:
Elizabeth Drake died 12th July 1830 age 52 years also her husband William Drake died 17th July 1835 age 69 years.This
stone was erected by their beloved son Wm Drake of NewYork N. America.Also his neice Eliza Mateer died with Jan
1833 age 19 years.Renovated by their Grandson Stewart Lavery of Lisburn in loving remembrance of his grandfather and
grandmother William and Eliza Drake."
I'll bet there is a story or stories behind these tombstone inscriptions.
