I have found on www.emeraldancestors.com a record of a Will Probate for a Francis Flanigan died March 28, 1879 . The record states:
Record Type: Wills Calender
Will Probate: 1885
Name : Francis Flanigan
Date of Death: March 28 , 1879
County:Monaghan
Residence: Tassan
No age listed
But his grandson also Francis Flanigan was born in 1881 in Castleblayney, Monaghan and married in 1903 in Keady.
My Question is:
Where would I find a death certificate or record of death ?
Is there any site to see this Will or do I have to order it from some County Office ? and if so , Who ?
I still am not able to find a birth registry for Francis Flanigan or a Marriage cert for him and supposedly his wife Margaret Daley ? Can anyone can help me , PLEASE ??

All Irish wills and their associated probate documents go to the National Archives of Ireland after twenty years have passed. Every year a will calendar is compiled that lists every will or Grant of Probate document that has been processed.
The Will Calendars still exist and give a small synopsis of the will or Grant. However, in 1922, the Public Records Office was destroyed in a massive explosion along with many, many original wills amongst other documents.
There is a birth registered in Castleblaney district for the following:
Name: Francis Flanagan
Registration district: Castleblayney
Registration date - quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1881
There are a few marriage records around 1903 for men called Francis Flanigan but there are over a hundred for women called Margaret Daley.
You can write to the GRO looking for more info. Their website is http://www.groireland.ie/ . They do not have an online ordering service. You can Google for "Irish Certificates" to find online agents who can do it for you.
