There is a death in Family Search for A George Schlicher in 1934 born 1849

Dublin South Jan -March 1934, 85 years of age,  this is possibly him.

You will have to request the death cert.

Thats Him alright hadnt he lived quite a long time for people from that era and in particular around the inner city
is there any slickers out there with connections to south inner city (slicker,schlicher,schlichor,schleicher) any of these spellings will more than likely match
George had a son frederick who also reverted back to the german spelling he lived in cork street around the 1939 elections he also had son Daniel who may have died in celbridge and louis and a george junior although there a probably lots of louis and georges by now
im trying to find out when george arrived in ireland from germany he may have handed down some stories

if your out there a quick question for you, if a person is buried in grange gorman do they have to be in the military or married to somebody in the miltary

I am not familiar with the cemetery history, but according to the details on Internment.Net the cemetery was originally for 'British Forces, wives and families. After 1923 only servicemen and their next of kin could be buried there.'

Forgive me shane for being lazy and thanks again you always have the answers
is there any site that you know of where i could check if somebody was in the services
ie for example george slickers grandson george who was married to catherine.
co incidentally there is a grave listed to both in grangegorman as it is such an uncommon surname what are the chances of that

that would depend very much on the dates involved - for pre-Independence Army records you can try websites like Find My Past. I dont think any Free State/Irish army details will be online anywhere.

given the rarity of the surname in Dublin I'd say it's worth following those details up..
