I am having a heck of a time with my Dublin Ireland Relatives! It seems I am only able to confirm what I already know. I am trying to press on and see what I can find. I am looking for the most likely cemetery they may be buried in. The names where William Taylor and his wife was Charlotte Bennett Taylor. Both seems to be dead by 1880. I would say they died between 1868 and 1880. They were members of the Eustace St. Church and were Presbyterian. They lived in the subburbs of Dublin, I believe in the Rathmines area. William was a solicitor as was his father Alfred Taylor. Can anyone tell me what might be the best cemetery to start looking at?
Thanks,
Ellen

Hi have you tried the LDS web site

This is the link to index of Irish civil registrations which might narrow down the deaths to a registration district and quarter but unfortunately Irish death certificates do not list place of burial.

once you get the death certs, you could look at the newspapers for the day after their death to see if there's a mention of the funeral.
My guess is Mount Jerome, unless they were country people originally, and buried in their old area.

I did find an obituary in Freeman's Journal for a Taylor, Rathmines being buried in Mount Jerome c1875-1880 but the name (from memory) was John with father named Clement.

Thank you everyone for your help. I didn't have the link to the new search on the LDS this is really great.
