Cork / Newspaper obituaries
« on: Friday 07 February 25 14:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I know that my GGrandfather Cornelius O'Neill died in 1891. His death is registered in the District of Ballincollig, Cork on 31 March 1891.
Could anyone advise which newspapers I could research to try and find an obituary. My aim is to find his resting place and this knowledge could in turn shine light on where my GGrandmother Mary is buried.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for that suggestion, I had also considered the hospital where he died as they may have details of the funeral service.

Thanks to all who have offered help and suggestions. I will contact the Maritime Volunteer service to see if there may be any connection in view of the fact that Harold served with the RNLI.

Yes I have tried everything that I can think of. Local papers, crematorium and the local cemeteries where his relatives are buried but nothing.

Both events recorded in Yorkshire.
He served as Coxswain with the Redcar Lifeboat crew for a number of years.
Thanks for offering to investigate

Armed Forces / Re: Awarding of medals - Boer War
« on: Friday 16 August 24 17:11 BST (UK) »I already have records regarding which medals they would have been awarded. I am trying different avenues to establish where these relatives were living in the early 1900's. They were both born in Ireland but I cannot find them in the 1901 census as they were in SA with their regiments. "Thinking outside the box" then I thought maybe if medals had been sent to them, somewhere there must be address details. Hope this makes sense.
Thank you
