Funeral directors have launched an appeal to locate next of kin for Margaret Ellen 'Peggy' Murdoch, an 81-year-old woman who died in hospital on 9 April.

Peggy Murdoch resided previously on Wilson Street in Lisburn, at Seacash Walk in Antrim, and in nursing homes in Hillsborough and Lisburn.

Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors issued the request on behalf of the South Eastern Trust.

The directors stated that Peggy Murdoch had a twin brother who predeceased her, and they lack further details on her personal circumstances.

Anyone with information on living relatives should contact Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors.

No funeral arrangements are set. The South Eastern Trust will handle plans if no relatives come forward.
