It's highly unlikely you will find any notice of a death of a protestant in sinn fein archives from that time if they were not pro republican, regardless of there age. And it's highly likely the best place to find young Williams resting place is deansgrane, I think that cemetery is divided down the middle for catholic and protestant.

Turns out I got it mixed up, My uncle posted on this forum years ago his grandfather my great grandfather was Cecil Desmond, son of the pharmacist, seems like my great great grandfather was a bit of a lady's man and all the Williams and Fredericks got me confused, Even my middle name is Frederick after my grandfather, who's name is Frederick after his Grandfather, and even my own sons name is Frederick after my own Grandfather!!! Sorry, I do apologise!!

My great grandfather lived in Cabra, he had 6 girls and 1 boy, He worked for Dublin bus and also done tours to glendalough, I actually remember his funeral it was the late 80's, my grandad couldn't remember the year exactly he will have to look up his death cert.

My great great grandfather owned this pharmacy, my great grandfather was frederick william sweeny jnr, my grandfather is frederick william sweeney, his surname was changed because there was an issue with school or something and the name being considered to protestant to enter a Catholic school, My great great grandfather left the pharmacy to the eldest son from his second marriage (don't no why) From my side the name sweeny stopped at my grandfather, but the line goes on its just sweeney instead! My grandfather was frederick william sweeny's jnr only son,
