I am back to some research. Looking for birth (and parents), death and burial record of Elizabeth Fleeson (nee Anderson) wife of Plunket Fleeson, Castletown Delvin, Westmeath. Elizabeth was born abt 1803. Married Plunket 28 May 1824 Delvin. Children of marriage Maria bp 1824, James bp 1827/8, Emily between 1827-1833, Thomas 1831/3, Plunket? 1836 - approximate birth/baptism dates.
It has been suggested that Elizabeth may have died after childbirth 1836 but I have not found a record. Plunket remarried Eliza Price 1840.
Any suggestions regarding Elizabeth Fleeson (Anderson) greatly appreciated, regards .... Alison

I wondered if the 28 May 1840 second marriage of Plunket lists him as a widow. I don't have a copy of the certificate but have a FHL film number 101011. The name says Fleison (should be Fleeson) location - Killucan, Westmeath to Elizabeth Price. Does anyone know how I can view a copy of the film reference listed, thanks ...... Alison

The record on FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGJX-24G?lang=en) links to a microfilm imageset which includes some baptism, burials and marriages for Killucan Parish (CofI), you have to browse through it.
There's a transcript of this marriage on FamilySearch, see if this link works (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-S3C1-1?i=491&lang=en), you need to have a sign-in (free).
This record gives residences for the bride & groom, Delvin & Killucan, names of two witnesses - William Fleison & Robert Price and notes that the marriage was 'by license' and carried out by a Cecil Crampton rector, other than the date there are no other details.

This article might help (I can only see this snippet on FindMyPast).
Morning Herald (London), 10 May 1836: BLAKE V. LYNCH. Catholics. In contradiction of Plunket Fleeson's evidence, with regard to his wife's living and dying a Catholic, the affidavit of the Reverend Mr. Barton was introduced by Mr. John Lynch, wherein it was deposed that, when Plunket Fleeson's wife was on her death-bed, her husband ...

I was able to view and copy both articles (the first one very long) and they involve a court case over inheritance. If you are interested I can send them by email (just send me a PM with your email address).

Thankyou to everyone. I do have a lot of information on this family, however my request is specifically related to Plunket's first wife Elizabeth Anderson - birth, parents, death, burial.
The information some people have posted relates to his second wife (Eliza Price). The approximate dates of both women have a birth about 1803 which is why the confusion appears.
Hence why I am trying to find a copy of the second marriage to see is he lists himself as a widow.
Thanks again for all the time and effort people are making to assist me, regards

He would list himself as a widower rather than widow, hopefully. ;) Widow is for a female.

The information about both wives is relevent.

Yes, it should be widower rather than widow but this has already been covered-

Will send two newspaper articles shortly and think you will find them both interesting although may take a few readings to figure out what was going on.

Thankyou for the information, however I am only looking for the birth / baptism, death, and burial of the first wife to Plunket Fleeson - Elizabeth Anderson - born about 1803 and married 1824.

This might tie in to both the gravestone and that court case-
London Courier and Evening Gazette, 21 June 1837: ... St. George's, Hanover-square, London, Peter Gale, Esq., of Ashfield Hall, in the Queen's County, to Anna Maria Harriet, only daughter of the late Captain Fleeson, of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and relict of P. H. Lynch, Esq., of Rock-lands, in the county of Mayo.
