Dublin South Union Workhouse Infirmary

The index of perpetuities, assuming that this is a family plot and was used for several burials. This index should correspond with the other two, but again inaccuracies can creep in due to human error - I have discovered one so far.

The index of perpetuities, presumably is kept at Mount Jerome?
Do you think that an error was made when the entries were written at the cemetery?
How can this be checked?

I'm afraid I couldn't say whether an error has been made in your case until I looked at all the data, and I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment. I think I've said all I can, based on what I've seen, at the moment.

Thank you anyway!

Having been through this thread, I am not sure if the South Dublin Records would tell me anything in what I am after

One of Casement's Irish Brigade men, a Daniel Murphy, died here in 1926. The snippet I have on him is

Death of Daniel Murphy in Dublin South, death registered Apr - Jun 1926, Estimated Birth Year: 1875, Age (at Death): 51 Volume: 2, Page : 348. Keogh believes that this man died in St James St Workhouse, Dublin. Buried in a paupers grave according to Keogh

I have had a great deal of difficulty in tracing who this chap  on whom I can get little real information and this is all I have,and this bit about his death in the South Dublin Union is about the only real lead I have on him. And with a name like Daniel Murphy one needs concrete facts to dig with!

Hi All,

I am new to the site but a few months into my research.  I have located a few family graves in Mount Jerome but i wondered what happened to my great grandfather 's brother.  Mount Jerome have located him in a unmarked grave and said he died in the dublin union.  I have the following info from Mt Jerome:

"John Thomas Moloney died 28/09/1944 aged 67 cause of death heart failure died in Dublin Union  from heart failure buried in grave number A49-321 this a common grave with no marker whatsoever"

I suppose i am wondering how he ended up at the dublin union and why he wasnt buried with the rest of the family(we have three graves).  Does anyone have info on dublin union etc?

Hi everyone,
I'd be so grateful for any help with a South Dublin Union record if anyone has access to them. My g-g-grandfather Michael Neary died there in 1891 aged 47. I often wondered how he died so young. Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Do you have a death cert for Michael ?

This should show place, date and cause of death..

These look are the possible Index details if you need to order a research cert :

  name: Michael Neary
  Registration district: Dublin South
  Event type: Death
  Quarter and year: Jul-Sep 1891
  Age: 47    (est. year of birth 1844)
  Volume : 2 / Page: 436

see :  Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
         Details included on a Death Cert

not sure of your location, but if you are based in or near Dublin then you can check out the S.D.U records in the National Archives.

The admission books usually include just the date of death for inmates .. but the death cert should show a bit more.
