I am that person in Canada. She certainly is a very kind person to have taken the time to do this for me. Otherwise I would never have been able to obtain those pictures. Not too many people would have done what she did for me.
It was certainly appreciated & thanked through email.
Hi dublin1850,
Sorry it so long to get to this thread. It is a wonderful example of how helpful the RootsChat community is.
Did you have any luck tracing Cando's request for a picture of Grave No 10 15 Dec 1851 69- MI SW ?
It would be nice to put that one to rest.
Peter.
Firstly, in response to the query about the grave Kelly/Davenport from Cando, I checked section 69 but the very few old graves I could see there had undecipherable inscriptions. Almost all the graves in that section are relatively new, dating from the 1960s up to the present day. To obtain further information a search would have to be carried out by the cemetery office, which would cost up to 20 Euros per grave. Don
thank you kooky and Gerry McMahon for your help. Gerry might seem like a strange question but is the surname McMahon quite common in ireland? my great great grandfather married a charlotte mcmahon prior to 1900 and it them i am trying to find info on, i believe her father was a photographer and his business was at 55 lr o'connell street dublin. dont suppose you can help with that at all? long shot for me!

Attached is photo of the general area where the grave was located in Mount Jerome.

Mount Jerome is not 'closed'. There are still some new plots there and burials in older family plots. It is now also a very busy place with a crematorium operating from the chapel there.
There is an office that would answer your query. I believe they charge 10 euro but could locate the grave from the one burial date and supply full details including a map,of all others in the same plot. Up to four people can be buried in one standard grave.

I'm wondering if Pockridge was buried in the same plot as his son Richard Arthur Dancey who died Dec 1911 & is in Mt Jerome (& also haven't found RA Dancey's wife Jane Catherine Dancey who died 1910) As you could get 4 to a single plot I wonder if the 3 of them are all in the plot that has been identified as Richards
It seems that Richard;s plot was bequeathed to one of his daughters Hanna Dancey/Kenny (who died childless) - how would I find out who plot ownership reverted to?

Hi All
Im looking for information on My 3rd Great Grandparents
George sidford 1801-1879 and Mary Sidford (nee weeks)1806-1876
as far as I know they are buried at Mt Jermone Cemetery Dublin
any help on this would be great regarding grave photos or any information on the family
Just an additional on this - I found a catholic relatives that died prior to 1923 buried in Mount Jerome as there were mixed marriages and they used family graves. Don't just rule out Mount Jerome as a possibility for catholics pre-1923!!
This is a link to photos from Mount Jerome

If you use the text file you can use [ctrl] & [F] on your keyboard to activate the find dialogue box and type the name you require to search; tedious but effective! Then with the photo number look at the relevant file of photos.
Many graves in Mount Jerome are unmarked however.
Joseph Mullowney Wilson buried 09/07/1854 aged 56 Buried in grave C130-1810. also buried in grave is Alice Blacker 1864, Florence Blacker 1865, Hannah Blacker 1865 and Laura Blacker 1866.These are his Granddaughters. If you find the grave could you tell me who is close by, as we hope to come to Ireland in the next couple of years and it would help us to find the grave thank you .
Mount Jerome is a very large cemetery and the grave reference should have at least a section reference also.
I have a map I can look up but need more information to do so.
Usually they provide more information than you seem to have received.
Based on there being five burials of different names, presumably not related people, this could be a “common grave” not solely owned. If this is the case there will be no headstone as in this cemetery only the sole owner has the right to put one up.
Think this is it

No idea of position though.
