Just in case it is him, you can get a copy of his gravestone from this site but costs £3.

Or email this kind man and ask if he has a copy( they are free of charge on this site )

http://www.britishwargraves.co.uk/page14.htm Scroll down the page, it list the cemetery so should have his gravestone?

Migky  ;)

Hello the bell.   I did all this on behalf of my friend Constance (she is a niece of the late William).   Perhaps you know her?

Recently started researching the Corcoran branch of the family, from Cashel. I believe my Great Great Grandfather was Patrick Corcoran. Patrick was a Town Sergeant in Cashel and worked for the Town Commissioners. I believe he had a son called John, who was the informant on his death certificate. This is the same John Corcoran, the father of William Corcoran you are looking for.
