Burial records Cork / Military cemetery Barrackton 1880-90

[aghadowey]

"The Dead of the Irish Revolution project cites examples of ex-soldiers like William McPherson of Mallow, Co Cork or John Donohoe of Ratoath, Co Meath, both of whom had served with the Dublin Fusiliers. McPherson was bundled into a car on July 7th, 1921. His body was found two miles outside Mallow with a bullet in the chest. A piece of paper had been pinned to his coat with the legend "Convicted Spy. Spies and informers in Mallow beware. We are on your track. IRA.""

   Many thanks for posting the accurate gen on this,can count out my ,,,Fellow,,,,then.
   Problem is my PC skills are not as good as you younger people.
   Will get the Cork marriage definitely,need to confirm that one way or the other.
   May need to make another visit in the Spring and go to all the burial grounds,and Presbyterian Churches in the Cork area that you have kindly sorted out. I only found out about the guys eldest son also Thomas, by visiting Findlaters in Parnell Sq,Dub,because an old Irish relative had remembered her mother saying Tom was living/working there after he came out of R Warwicks.

Thanks again Brionne.

Now confirmed that a Thomas M Pherson married a Fanny Otter nee Cook in Cork somewhere 1886
or late 1885.will sent for cert.
     Fanny McPherson appears on both Free Irish Census 1901 and 1911.

     1901 Fanny MacPherson 48 widow b England.Cook domestic.
              George Otter son16 stable boy,b Cork City.
              Charles MacPherson son14 scholar,b Cahir Co Tipperary.
               11 Betaghstown[Julianstown]Meath.

     1911 Fanny McPherson 59 widow Head b England.Church of Ireland.
              George Otter son 25 railway shunter b Cork
              10 Town Park,Dundalk, rural Louth.

      No sign of Charles but there is a possible gunner RA, married one at Woolwich,states he is born in Rochester Kent,but wife from Fermoy Co Cork and his age is right.

           Charles McPherson birth.
           Royal Engineers  Cahir Ireland 1886 vol 663,p 89.

So all looks promising,thank you Aghadowey ,Sonas and all for so much useful help.

Found Fanny McPherson as next of kin for the eldest son also Thomas,on the boys Army History record age 14,enlisted Tipperary 5 March 1887,just 3 months after father found drowned.Fannys name crossed out and wifes name Florence Rose put on,later date.
Wonder now if Thomas senior had been at Tipperary or Cahir when drowned,but must have still been serving in RE.

Hi,
The nearest Church of Ireland cemetery to Graball bay and Camden Fort is Templebreedy.
It might be worth your while contacting the parish office for the Church of Ireland Crosshaven
to see if they have burial records for your ancestor.
If you google Church of Ireland Crosshaven this first site is the correct one and to the side is a map showing
Crosshaven and Graball , very close to each other.
http://www.google.ie/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADSA_enIE380IE380&q=church+of+ireland+crosshaven
 
The office email is  office.templebreedy@cork.anglican.org   and they are available on
Tues, Wed, & Thurs from 9.30 to  12.30
 
Hope this might be some help to you

   Mary,thank you so much for this information,will have to write to them as none of Irish emails appear to get through at present.


Have found that second wife Fanny McPherson did not marry again,her death is listed on Family Search in Drogheda 1928.
Also trying to find a marriage for Charles McPherson,not listed under army Marriages.
This is a complete new line,if Charles married there may well be ,,,live,,relatives somewhere.


Thanks for your interest,
Brionne.
