Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Deciphering Surname on Birth Certificate
« on: Saturday 17 June 17 15:08 BST (UK)  »
Sorry for cropping it poorly, I didn't think before posting.

It's a birth certificate for Anne McCormick, parents John McCormick and Bridget McCormick, in the year 1877.

Handwriting for the whole thing kind of verges on illegible - the only reason I know it's even supposed to say Anne is that it's identified as such on the site.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Deciphering Surname on Birth Certificate
« on: Saturday 17 June 17 14:00 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me figure out what this is supposed to say? I know the top bit reads "Bridget McCormick" but I'm trying to decipher what's written under "Formerly" and I'm drawing a complete blank. I'm pretty sure my family tree ends here if no one can figure out what this person tried to write in 1877.

Sorry,
I didn't word that very well, I did mean his name was not put on when the headstone was put up for Anne, I have several cases of people known to be buried in a plot but no name on the head stone which was put up later when another family member died, but that was in an rural area where the same plot stays with one family for generations, city burials are often quite different, so of course he could be somewhere else.
It didn't help that I thought I was only searching Mount Jerome and didn't notice the result was for Deansgrange.
Don't worry, I realize that the way I wrote that could come across confrontational, but I did not intend it that way. It's more than possible that happened - in all likelihood, wherever he is buried, it is extremely unlikely he has a proper headstone - but I just didn't think it was especially likely for the reasons given. I didn't take it as a sleight and no offense was taken.

EDIT: Yeah, looking into it, my grandmother went home to bury her mother in '57. She'd have known if it also held her father. Thanks for the solid research, though. That was a good lead and I appreciate the work that went into it.

So this is Anne in Mount Jerome No.1769. Yes?

I wonder if William was buried there too but his name was never put on the headstone.

Sorry that's Deansgrange

This is definitely my great-grandmother, if only because I know the other people on that headstone. Considering she's the first person on the headstone and the number of years between their deaths, though, I think it's unlikely that William is also buried there. It would be more than a bit uncharacteristic for any of the people involved in that burial to deliberately remove their father's name from a grave after twenty years, and that's what him being there would involve. I'll definitely have to add Deansgrange to the list of places to call, though.

If nothing else turns up any leads, I'll probably just have to assume that he's there and there just was no stone there before 57, but finding something definitive would really mean a lot to my grandmother, so I'm probably going to keep bothering the people at every local cemetery for a while until that's the only remaining option.

I really appreciate all the work everyone is doing here, by the way, if that was not obvious. It's all been extremely helpful.

Yep, that's my great-uncle Isaac, the same Isaac that's TDeering from earlier in the thread's father and was the informant on the above death certificate.

Are your sure of the year he died, I can see a death for a William Deering died 16 Feb 1937 aged 37, wife A. Deering 9F James St.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1937/04791/4288067.pdf
Definitely not sure on the specific year of the death, I just decided to go with what appears in family records, since I've seen multiple conflicting dates.

You've almost certainly got it right, though - until just now I was getting a server error every time I tried to access the Civil Records part of that site, but looking at it, it's pretty clear that's him. Thank you, that'll help me when calling cemeteries later today, and I'll edit the original post.

Hi There, I think your William Deering was a first cousin of my granfather William Deering 1900 to 1968. I have come across the other William Deering 1899-1938 over the years while doing research into the family IRA & Civil War connections, to answer your question Glavnevin Cemetery or Mount Jerome Cemetery. I have personally called to the offices of both & they looked up graves for me.Glasnevin even gave me a map & marked the location of 3 unmarked graves of which one was another William Deering 1872-1927. If you can`t get to them, try ringing them. Best of luck
It's entirely possible that my William Deering's the first cousin of yours. This family tree's surprisingly confusing thanks to every other person being a William or James. I appreciate your help so much, hope it works out. If it does I'll be sure to report back and thank you again.

Hey, I know this is a long shot - and that a bunch of members of my immediate family will end up reading this - but if anyone here could help me with a search of graves, it would mean the world to me and likely a few other people.

William Deering (1899-1937) - the one who served as a private in the 2nd Southern Command in the Civil War and was married to Annie Josephine Leahy - was my great-grandfather, and, as you can tell from the numbers earlier, died pretty young. No one in our family, including his actual children, know where he is buried, to the best of my knowledge. He died in Dublin and is presumably buried in the surrounding area, but no one actually knows where and I would really appreciate some help locating this grave. If anyone somehow knows offhand or even just could point me towards the resources I should search to find the location of this grave, it would mean a lot to a 90 year old woman and her descendants.

EDIT: Thanks to Sinann for getting me an accurate date of death.
