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

[shanew147]

I dont know if you've already looked in to the location of your Murray/Connors family in detail...

Woodside is a townland of about 154 acres, it's located on the Enniskerry Road (both sides), and just south of Lamb's cross. You can see a map of this on the OSI website at : link (click the 6" historic option for the best view)

Thank you for the link.  When I first saw Woodside on a birth certificate, I thought it was the name of the house but have since found out it is an area.  Would the cemetery at St Patricks Glencullen be the only Roman Catholic one nearby or would there by any more?

[shanew147]

there was a house/estate named Woodside, but it was built later on - it was on the west side of the Enniskerry road.

Woodside is close to Sandyford village where the parish church was (and still is), but no historic cemetery listed there on the DublinHeritage list.  The closest are the ones mentioned earlier .. 

The parish of Sandyford is quite large and extended out from near Goatstown to the north and as far south as the Co. Wicklow border near Enniskerry

going on the theory that Harriet Goodman was infact the grandmother in 1901 rather than just a boarder I found a civil record that fits with your date of marriage
Dublin North Oct-Dec 1880 V2 P491 Anne GOODMAN with a match for John MURRAY
If this is correct and the fact that Harriet is not listed anywhere in 1911 this death record may be her
Rathdrum Jan-Mar 1902 aged 64 V2 P777
This record if proven correct could give an address and therefore a pointer to where she is buried
Also if this is William
Dublin North Jul-Sep 1902 aged 16 V2 P361
then he may have been buried with his grandmother as their deaths were so close

You are right with all the information.  I have all those certificates.  I think Harriet's husband James Goodman perhaps died in 1868 (aged 38 most probably older as he was born around 1820) in Dublin and I haven't been able to find where he is buried.  James and Harriet originally came from Wicklow.  They were married in Wicklow Parish on 15th November 1842.  James was a sailor.  As yet, I haven't found birth records.  I need to look at the Parish records again when next in Dublin.
Is Rathdrum actually in Wicklow or is it still in Co. Dublin and are there any cemeteries that would be close to her place of death?

gives 3 Goodman refs.

May be of interest - might be worth asking if anyone on this Board has access to a library with a copy. People from Sandyford were quite often buried in Enniskerry or Curtlestown graveyards. Cantwell would be a good place to start. It is not always 100% comprehensive, and it is possible that no tombstone was erected.

Thanks for all your help.  Do I ask the question under this thread or start a new one?

Not sure what the ettiquette is - mayby a moderator could comment?  :)PM

since most of the background details are already in the thread, it's probably simplest just to explain the exact details (date, location etc) you are interested in from Cantwells here

I'll add a mention of Cantwell's to the thread title, just to make it clear
