Burial place for Great Grandparents Dublin/Wicklow (poss Cantwell lookup)

[Barntap]

I am trying to find where my Great Grandparents are buried. Great Grandfather died in August 1915 in Parnell Street and my Great Grandma died in March 1919 at an address on the North Circular Road. They had a son who died in July 1902 (aged 16) in Jervis Street  I have tried the on line records for Glasnevin but they are not there.  They were in the Pro-Cathedral Parish.  My Great Grandfather was a Stone Cutter and most probably worked for Dublin Corporation.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Can you give us some information to work with?  Name(s) and perhaps any possible variations would be helpful

Thank you for the email.  The family name was Murray.  My Great Grandparents John (born in Sandyford) and Anne (born in Wicklow) lived in Dublin and were married at the Pro-Cathedral in 1880.  John died in 1915 and Anne in 1919.

My Great Great Grandparents - William and Jane (Connor) were married in Sandyford in 1846.  In the late 1850s when another Son, Thomas, was born they lived at Woodside, Glencullen.  They had two other children, Mary Jane and James.

Both William and John Murray were Stonecutters.

they may have been buried in a graveyard in the Sandyford area ...

or perhaps Deansgrange - many of my Northside relations are buried in Deansgrange.

if you live near Dublin, the Deansgrange Burial Registers are available in Pearse St Library

I don't live in Dublin - that is the problem.  I live in Blackpool UK so it is very difficult finding out about the graveyards.  I know they are not in Glasnevin (done the online search) or Mount Jerome.  Mount Jerome only interred Catholics after 1922.  They could be in Sandyford or Glencullen but I haven't managed to find out the names of the graveyards.

quite a number of graveyards in Co. Dublin - see this link in the Dublin Resources section - DUBLIN GRAVEYARDS

includes a useful map and other details from DublinHeritage : link

Hi Shane

Thanks for the links.  I have had a look but as I live in Blackpool England, I am a bit lost as to where all the graveyards are.  Is it possible to let me know which graveyards are Roman Catholic and are in the Sandyford/Glencullen area.  As the men in the family were Stonecutters perhaps they do have a family grave in that area.
Many thanks

The problem often encountered with RC burials is that details are not usually kept in the registers - for example the two RC graveyards in Glencullen (Glencullen Old and St. Patricks), both in the RC parish of Sandyford, neither have burial records available.  There are however some headstone transcriptions for certain dates available, so if your family had a headstone they may be listed in these - see the details on the Dublin Heritage website : Glencullen Old  and Glencullen, St. Patrick

The cemetery in Kiltiernan is church of Ireland, and not sure if Kilgobbin is RC, Church of Ireland - or mixed.

I would also consider Deans Grange, as mentioned earlier by eadaoin - it's a large cemetery in South County Dublin, which opened in 1865.

One possible method to finding out which cemetery the burials took place is to check to see if either of them had a death notice in a newspaper. These sometimes mentioned where the burial would take place.

Do not rule out Mount Jerome I found catholic relatives buried there in both private and common graves buried before 1922
It was not common but was possible
