Title: grandparents burials
Post by: noelreilly on Tuesday 24 October 06 21:27 BST (UK)
i am trying to find where my grand parents are buried in dublin.  my grandmother was Mrs Esther Sheridan ( nee..Kinghorn) she was born in 1900 probably at the Coombe maternity hospital. she died at home at 15 coombe street Dublin in 1949 of coronary thrombosis.
i have her death certificate.
Her husband was a soldier called John Sheridan, i dont know where or when he was born. but he died of injurys caused by a bomb blast sometime between 1939 and 1945.
ide just like to know where there buried so i can pay my respects.

All of my family are from that area also. and I know that they and nearly all oftheir neighbours are mostly buried in Mount Jerome, Harolds Cross.

i looked for mount jerome cemetry, but it would only give me the names of famous people buried there. i couldnt find the names on all the headsyones like i could for other cemetrys.
my luck is running out im afraid.

I wouldn't say your luck is running out, but unfortunately there is only so far the internet will take you when it comes to Irish Genealogy.
