Hi, Re Knockbreda, Going from memory of some years past. Knockbreda Parish Church is at 69
Church Road Newtownbreda. Canon Philip Patterson is the Rector. I lived on the Ormeau Road in
Belfast. If you travelled to the end of that road ,it branched into two The Saintfirld Road on
the Left And Church Road on the right. If you could get a Map this may help you find the Area
you are looking for. If not you could write to the Church and ask your questions there. I did
and they sent me the information on the Cemetery where my family were buried on the Saintfield
Rd.If I remember correctly there is also a Newtownbreda Village in that area.
I hope this has been some help to you. Louie Dunn.
