Andrews Mausoleum, Comber
Mausoleum for various members of the Andrews family in the churchyard of St Mary's Church of Ireland, Comber J4669 : St Mary's Church of Ireland, Comber. An important family in the area during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the Andrews rose to prominence through their business interests in grain processing and the manufacture of linen, helping to establish Comber as an important centre for these industries. The family name is most probably associated with the businessman and shipbuilder Thomas Andrews. Born in Comber in 1873, Thomas was to become managing director and head of the draughting department for the shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff in Belfast. He was chief designer for the RMS 'Titanic' and, travelling onboard during the ships maiden voyage, was to lose his life when it hit an iceberg on 14 April 1912. Thomas Andrews lived in Windsor Avenue in Belfast - see J3272 : Irish Football Association, Belfast.
Another of the famous Andrews clan of the 20th Century was John Miller Andrews who served as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland from 1940-43.
