Title: Burial Place nearest Balally
Post by: Barntap on Tuesday 15 November 11 14:45 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the burial place of my Great Great Grandfather who died in Balally Dublin in 1885.  I have managed to find his death certificate.  His name was William Murray, Stonecutter who died on 27th May 1885.

Any help would be appreciated

Ballaly would be have been a bit borderline with regard to which parish it was in, but during the 1880s most likely be in Dundrum, but might also be worth checking Sandyford. For earlier dates the area was part of the RC parish of Booterstown (I think Dundrum was founded as a parish in the 1850s).

Unfortunately the RC records for Dundrum dont include death/burials. There is St. Nathi's graveyard near William Dargan (Luas) bridge and Joe Daly's - most of the burials there are Church of Ireland.  I dont see any other graveyards that close to Dundrum or Ballaly. The nearest would probably those used by Sandyford parish - i.e. Kilgobbin, Kiltiernan etc, or maybe Dean's Grange which opened in the 1860s..

Thanks Shane.  Do you know which of the cemeteries would be Roman Catholic?

Dean's grange is a public cemetery, so non-denominational. The one in Glencullen is RC - It think this one came up before in a discussion on another family member of yours.
