Said, Patrick Joseph Knox was an uncle of my father. Where did you get the details of his birth?

Patrick's details appear in I.G.I. (www.familysearch.org) and LDS Pilot site- Irish births
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi, I've just retrieved a death cert re a John Knox, died in 1883 in the north city. This is part of the search to find the grandfather of Agnes Knox.

He was 75 and it looks as if he died in a night asylum. I was wondering if someone got dementia etc. in 1883, might it be, that he would be put into a night asylum?


I am assuming that he died in the  Bow Street , night asylum, workhouse, North Dublin Union.
