Deansgrange is a large cemetery, so you would probably need a plot reference to find any inscription. They do not have any records online at the moment, but some inscriptions and transcripts are available on various websites. See the topic DUBLIN GRAVEYARDS (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,501983.0.html) in the Dublin resources section.
note :topic separated off from the topic on James Plunkett

The Public Library in Pearse Street have Deansgrange records on microfilm for free lookup (you need ID to join library but otherwise free) but it is by date of burial only.
The Deansgrange office staff are also very helpful in requests but again you will need a date of death or burial.
Multiple burials in the one plot are cross referenced so you may be lucky if you find one that you'll find others together in a family plot.
I was very lucky here and found family members (young children) that were previously unknown of.

There are good possible matches for the deaths of Thomas and Walter on the famlysearch beta website. The online index only covers up to 1958.. so the other names are too recent to be included.
Name: Thomas Noel Hutton
Registration District: Rathdown
Event Type: Death
Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1937
Age: 72 (est. year of birth year 1865)
volume: 2 / page: 515
Name: Walter Hutton
Registration District: Dublin North
Event Type: death
Quarter and Year: Oct - Dec 1901
Age: 36 (est year of birth 1865)
volume: 2 / page: 358
death certs would give exact date of deaths, which should help any start a search in Deansgrange or the Library records that myluck! mentioned.

If you do get the grave locations, PM me and I'll go visit them for you. I live close by and its a very pleasant place to stroll around.
I agree with the comment that the staff there are very helpful, but I should mention that I had a chat with one of them recently, and they mentioned that at some point in the future, a charge will be introduced for queries. The figure she mentioned was 50 euro per grave!

If it is possible anyone I would really love a photo of a grave from Deans Grange Cemetery in Dublin. It is Grave Reference No. 222 in the name of Shortt.
I would be ever so thankful!
Kind regards

Hi Sue,
I'd be happy to oblige with a photo. However, I need more details on the address of the grave. The plots in Deansgrange are identified by a grid system involving both a number and a letter/letters. Also, the plots are divided amongst a number of sections. So for example, I would expect to see an address for the grave which would look something like p 222 North Section, which might also be abbreviated to p 222 N.

Hi Sue,
The official number of this grave is 30 PI South.
Follow this link and it will open on a map of the cemetery.

The South Section is on the bottom left hand side. Enter the cemetery through the office gate. Take the first left and then the second right. Where the pathway begins to dogleg to the right the grave is 4 rows back and three graves in. The grave has a granite surround and appears to be well maintained. I took a number of photos but none showing the inscription as clearly as does the one posted by Joyce. This one just gives a broader view of the area.

Your relatives share the immediate area with victims of the Kingstown Lifeboat Disaster Christmas Eve 1895 and the sinking of the Leinster 1918.
Another grave nearby is that of Mary Edith Coleman who was awarded the Iron Cross by Emperor William II for her care of the wounded from both sides during the Franco Prussian War of 1870

Kind regards Sue

As advised by Archor Deansgrange Cemetery introduced a 50 Euro charge about two years ago for giving details. I would not pay it for a query but they were adament and unwilling to waieve.

Deansgrange's old records are on micro film available at Pearse Street Library for free
