Hello Peter, In what era would these deaths and burials have occurred? The burial grounds of Old Leckpatrick, and Patrick Street, Strabane, and were closed in the 1920s

Tyrone Len Swindley, would you be so kind as to check the same graveyard sources you cite for Kincaids (Kincade, Kinkaid, Kinkead)? There was a family of Kincaids I am sure is connected to mine in lands about Woodend (Ballee, Holyhill, Keenaghan/Silverhill & Tullyard). John & Sarah Kincaid were of Ballee. James and Thomas Kincaid were of Holyhill. James may have started in Ballee - the latter married Margaret Caton and later Susan (Black) Nixon. Thomas' daughter Lucinda married John Stevenson. William Kincaid married Nancy McFarlane, apparently a daughter of Daniel McFarlane of Holyhill. John Dickson of Keenaghan was married to Mary Kincaid. John Kincaid was married to Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of John Lindsay of Tullyard. Looks like they attended the Presbyterian church at Artigarvan. I have yet to find any burial information on any of these Kincaids so anything you have will greatly help piecing this family together. Best wishes!

Tyrone; the graveyard attached to St. Patrick’s Parish Church (Church of Ireland) which is relatively modern, the graveyard attached to Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church, Artigarvan, also relatively modern, the RC graveyard belonging to St. Mary’s Chapel at Cloghcor and the ancient parish graveyard (Leckpatrick Old Burial Ground – now closed) on Victoria Road (corner Leckpatrick and Ballyheather Roads). This old place of rest contains many graves, but fewer headstones: the earliest recorded is dated 1617. Referring to the Register of Gravestone Inscriptions in Leckpatrick Old Burial Ground, Artigarvan, Strabane – David & Sheelagh Todd (1991) there are no Nickle/ Nicholl headstones. So then went to a register compiled from a disintegrating map of the graveyard (1877) and again was unable to locate a burial place of the Nickles. There is a Henry Nichol recorded on the headstone of the Gordon family of Strabane referring to him as “a faithful friend”. In 1989 the Strabane District Council erected a plaque in memory of the famed “Memory Man” Bobby Nicholl (1907-1985). Have also referred to a file of the 451 legible headstone contained within the old Camus parish Graveyard in Patrick Street, Strabane, but again, there is nothing relevant to your forebears. In the old days, folk had little money to spare for a headstone; however, all knew the location of the family burial place! My forebear, Joseph Arbuckle of Woodend died 1781 and is buried in Leckpatrick Old Burial Ground (with headstone). A relation accompanied me to the grave and mentioned that the two unmarked spaces on either side belonged to the (related) Houston family of Woodend although this is not recorded on the old map. It is most likely that the Nickles of Woodend and elsewhere in the parish had a burial place in Old Leckpatrick, but it seems almost impossible to locate it. I guess you have found my file of Woodend rentals, tithe applotment book and Griffith Valuation (1858) on CTI? http://www.cotyroneireland.com/rental/woodend.html Hope this all helps?
