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

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.

Thanks! It's still a cop out. They shouldn't be directing us away from the site!

I think this should probably be a different thread than the census website discussion, but here's my review of the new Irishgenealogy site.

I've heard nothing about any user testing.

Although, I wouldn't admit to it if I had been, considering how bad things are!!!

There must have been a lot of negative feedback for them to put the old site back online.

I emailed a large number of points to them this afternoon. I know the Irish pro genealogy circles were buzzing today. as far as I know, no one was asked to test it in advance.

@Purpeller, did any of those points include issues similar to those I have highlighted on this thread, or would it be worth me emailing too (conscious of trying not to duplicate notification of issue examples, as that would just create even more workload for them at what methinks will be turning out to be a rather busy time already, judging by these 'teething' problems)?

I do wonder if they forgot the old addage of Test, test and test again, and/or lost or didn't follow, their data migration checklist. I also wonder which, if any, user group was used to do a Beta trial of the new site before the launch.

I think it's worth you doing an email on your points (sorry for slow reply - Rootschat didn't tell me there were new replies on thread).

For what it's worth, some of the errors I was picking up initially are now not replicable, so clearly work is going on in the background.
