William McCarthy
« on: Monday 01 November 10 06:07 GMT (UK) »
A William McCarthy died Jul - Sep 1925 in Limerick aged 18. I found this information on FamilySearch. 
 i would like to find out his parent's names because if they are Mary Ellen Liston and John McCarthy it would solve a family mystery. It was always thought that he migrated to USA with his father but I think he may have stayed in Limerick.
I'm not sure that the death certificate would show the info I need. I'm hoping that someone might point me in the right direction.

Irish death certs do not include specific details of parents, however sometimes for the deaths of children you may get a parent included on the cert as the informant ..

see :  Details included on a Death Cert

Thanks very much for your reply.

I was hoping that there might be some way that I could find out if he's the right bloke without paying all that money for a certificate just to get a clue. I guess I'll probably have to eventually.

The William McCarthy that I'm interested in was born 5 Jul 1907 in Lisnagry and in the 1911 census, I think I found him living with his father's parents William and Catherine McCarthy in Lisnagry Co. Limerick. His father just vanished and his mother (my grandmother) came to Australia in 1915, died 1930. She is my father's mother. It's just an interesting mystery.

Thanks again for your trouble.

Marie
