Burial records Cork / Military cemetery Barrackton 1880-90

Yes,now found the death of Lucy McPherson which I already have.

26 Jan 1885 age 35 wife of Thomas McPherson Royal Engineers.
U tero Peritonitis consequent of parturition
8 Victoria Street Barrackton.

She had just delivered her 6th child,must have been an awful death resulting in peritonitis.
The baby survived.
Husband was present at her death,but he remarried the following year.
This period of British history was a difficult overbearing time,and does us no favours. Would JUST like to find out exactly where one of this couple were buried.

So no sign of his Father's Death?

Having shelved trying to find where Thomas McPherson was buried in Cork 1887 for the time being,now unearthed another mystery.that would be grateful for help with.re his son Charles from his second marriage to Fanny Cook.

                    1911 Census shows Kate McPherson age 27 b Fermoy,
                     [with husband Charles RHA and 2 children at Woolwich Kent.]
           
                    The image gives her having 3 living children,but there are only two listed,
                    unable to find a previous marriage for her in England or Wales,so there must have
                    been a child born in Ireland before her marriage c1907 to Charles,or a previous marriage somewhere.
                    The only possible one is Charles McPherson 1903 Clonmel,which may be out of
                     wedlock.
                    This one shows up 1911 with an army family in Bulford Wilts with an Ellen McPherson
                     No men listed at all ,must have been overseas.
                     Any thoughts anyone,thanks.

Also found the following piece weeks ago,but unfortunately have lost the link.

,,,,,McPherson an ex British Army Sergeant Major was to be executed as a spy,[ IRA Mallow 1921]
      He had been living in Mallow for some years.
 
      This came from an Irish web site, but may or may not be my man,due to age gap,but his son perhaps,1921 being a much later era.

Very interested to know if there is a second marriage,but Kew flatly deny any Pension Records.

Hallmark,I did not believe this one was the correct ex soldier either,wrong regiment.
Many thanks for unearthing the truth, it all helps to give an accurate picture.

Hopefully one of the these days,I will get across to the Cork Military Museum,just may be lucky to get more info on Thomas McPherson from any local records held there.When I first started my research in Cork it was many years ago,just as this museum was starting up,so have never visited it.
Many thanks again for your time on this everlasting post,Brionne.
