If anyone is able to help me find a obituary and death notice for Hessie McKinley I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you in advance!

(Maria Davidson McKinley (Ria) is burried with Hessie and I'm unsure of the relation so if anyone is able to find a death notice for her as well that would be super helpful, thanks again. She passed on the 9/10th August 1980 and was Buried 12th August 1980, last place of residence 7 Jocelyn Avenue)

Thanks so so much,
Kellie.

Kellie,

You mention Maria Davidson McKinley. However the burial records just record her name as Maria Davidson. I don’t think she was named McKinley.

Belfast Telegraph of 11th Aug 1980 has a death notice: “Davidson Maria - August 9 1980, at hospital, late of 7 Jocelyn Ave, dearly beloved friend of John & Hessie. Funeral Service in Wilton’s Funeral Home. Woodstock Rd tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10.15 am. Interment afterwards in Roselawn Cemetery. Very deeply regretted by her sorrowing friends. John & Hessie McKinley 13 Braeside Grove, Braniel. At home with the Lord.”

You could order a copy of Maria’s death certificate from GRONI to find out a little more about her. (Likely cost £15 sterling). And she may have left a will which should be in PRONI (when it re-opens). That’s free to view if you can go in person.

Can’t see a notice for Hessie’s death.
