I was just showing that was the only death that even vaguely matched the name. I didn't think it was her.

There's no child called Brew born to a Farrell mother between 1937-1946 in Ireland, England, Wales or Scotland. Can't check NI for that period online.
However, there is a death of a Stella Bray in 1942, aged 1 in Liverpool. You can purchase a copy of that death for £3 on the E/W GRO site - just to rule it out.

You can find indexes to the bmds for the counties now known as the Republic of Ireland up to 1958 on Ancestry, FindMyPast and Familysearch.
After that, you can pay for searches and copy records in the GRO by email.

Newspapers are a good way to look for more recent deaths: irishnewsarchive.com

Yes! I spotted it. Am delighted.
They seem to be tweaking it a lot in the past few days. The initial return of the different SRDs for a county didn't filter properly, but it does now.
Hopefully this means the death records are on their way!

I queried St Ita's about burial records last year (someone who was an inmate).
They don't have any details of who was buried there but did acknowledge there is a cemetery.

Your best bet is to look for a death notice in the newspaper. You can access the best collection for Irish newspapers on the Irishnewsarchive.com or the British newspaper archive via Findmypast.

Dublin / Re: Online parish registers
« on: Tuesday 20 May 25 09:22 BST (UK) »I have two sources. One is the Ireland, Abstracts of Wills and Marriages, 1620-1923, and the other is Ireland, Select Marriages, 1619-1898.
I had a look at the RCB list but I don't think the registers for the parish church of St Catherine's have been extracted anywhere.
The only other route is to try the newspapers, but I haven't found anything on Ancestry.
The first of those collections includes the second, so they are the same source.

Are you looking at the marriage licence bond records?
What is listed in them is usually all that exists now.
You can cross-reference the Dublin parishes on the RCB master list

It works - I've tested it out.
