The Jewish section of the Belfast City Cemetery was acquired in 1871: the first burial took place 2 years later on 2 Feb 1873, and the last on 11 Jun 1964. Joseph (1864-1925) and Fanny (b. 1870) were Russian Jews who in 1911 resided with their nine children in North Street, Lurgan. Joseph was a draper. http://www.cemeteryscribes.com/showmap.php?cemeteryID=127&tree= In August 2016 the Belfast Jewish Cemetery was desecrated in a targeted attack by a gang of youths. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-37199390
