Title: O'Brien/Drudy Family
Post by: GerKay on Tuesday 19 July 22 13:45 BST (UK)
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, I will be visiting Roscommon end of July and would have liked to find my gg grandparents burial locations or the name of the cemetery they might be interred in.  They were married in Castlerea RC church in the Registration district of Castlerea and Union of Castlerea on 9 September 1864, Patrick O'Brien and Mary Drudy, any help would be much appreciated.  :)

Wouldn't you need to confirm that they died and were buried in Co Roscommon?  Have you done that? 

Family Search

is good for searching also

Also good is to find and track the burial places of their children as there may be a family plot used by those who stayed in Co Roscommon,

If they were alive by 1911, have you found them on the 1901/1911 Irish census?
Can you post a link, please?
