hello to everybody at rootschat.com and my fellow members in sligo i am new to the ite and wondered if there was anybody who could help me i am looking for any information on my grand parents who came from mailcoach road my grandmother was mary ellen mccarthy born around 1886 and lived in ramseys row my grandfather was andrew kerins from mailcoach road i believe he was once in the connaught rangers

The old Mail Coach Road stretched from Sligo Town to Dublin and the last of it was only destroyed a few years ago, therefore it passed through many small towns and townlands in a south easterly direction before entering Roscommon on the way to Boyle so you need to give the location.
Good luck,
J.T.A.

Welcome to Rootschat. The 1901 (and 1911) census are online (free) and that might be the place to find the townland where your grandparents lived in Sligo.
Here they are in 1911 living at Mail Coach Road (no house number)- they were married 3 years and had lost 2 children.

Hi Katyboo,
Welcome to roots chat ;D
I have Kearns in my ancestry a little earlier than your dates, and further down the hill from Mail Coach Road less than a quarter of a mile.
Patrick Kearns & Winifred Mulrooney. They are not direct ancestors, but 'connected' in my tree. They are also listed as sponsors at some family christenings at the time.

Did you have a look on pilotfamilysearch to see if there is a death record for any of the family. The old sligo cemetery is not too far from me and I could go have a look if I had approximate dates.

As it's so difficult to read your message I'm going to re-format it:
I did go on to the Family Search website and found Mary Ellen Kerins who died between Oct. and Dec. in 1927. Now, I'm 90% sure that's my Grandma but yet again don't give much detail. My father says they are buried at the old cemetery Pearce Road but I cannot find any details on Pilot Site. It's got file page and volume, also microfilm number but what that data shows I wouldn't know. I started this research on behalf of my Dad because he has never ever seen his mother and basically I set out to see if there was anybody in the family or knew the family who could point me in the right direction.
Now, the civil registration index on LDS Pilot site is an index and the details there will enable you to order the death certificate. The details you need are name, year/quarter, registration district, volume and page numbers- all other details are LDS references. See here for details included on a death certificate and how to order certificates-
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433043.0.html
Since you have a possible burial location it might be worth contacting the cemetery to ask if they have any information in their records.
