help needed for burial location

[MALLA]

Hello Shane,
I am sure a rookie at Irish genealogy........
I just guessed and ordered Ellen Long 1921 July- Sept Vol 5 page 205
of course was wrong
the second one I tried was
marriage of Ellen Keefe 1894 Jan -March  Vol 5 page 116.......wrong again.....
I am encouraged by your two suggestions as you have much more expertise than I.....
I think I will get some more Euros and mail my request ......
Now I will keep hoping.......thank you so much Shane
That 1911 census is the one I am looking for

I think your problem was matching the registration district - there's a few hints in the following topic on the Ireland Resources board the might help you fine tune your future searches : Tips for searching Irish BMD civil registrations

There's a link to a map of the districts in the 2nd post in that thread.

One way to work out the registration district is to use the townland database at : http://thecore.com/seanruad/   PLU or Poor Law Unions are generally the same as Registration Districts.

Templeglantine and Killacullen townlands are in the district of Newcastle, so that's where I'd start the search for records of your Long family.

Thank you once again, Shane.........I can't wait to get these 2 requests mailed...........
and I will indeed do some reading.......in the references you suggested

[MALLA]

Shane,
Thank you for your expertise.....I am so HAPPY to have rec'd my two research copies from GRO....they are a match....... Can anyone suggest which newspapers would be available for the time mentioned below and would someone have access to find a death notice for Wed March 31, 1926 for Ellen Long. ........ Help is most appreciated........

I am not very familiar with the area - but since the Registration District is based in the town of Newcastle West I would think that would be the location to try first for local newspapers. The newspaper index on the National Library website shows one newspaper published at the right time in the town. They hold for limited dates... not including 1926 :

   Weekly Observer   
   Place of publication: Newcastle West, Co. Limerick
   Publication dates: 1915 - 1927

   21 Aug 1915 - 1919   (microfilm)   
   6 Aug. - 3 Dec. 1927  (hardcopy)

maybe a library in the area would have additional dates, or someone from the area might be able to suggest another paper to try ?

A generous man checked the Limerick Chronicle and the Limerick Leader for a death notice for March 31st, 1926 and a few days afterwards........No luck....still hoping....

Hi

If you contact the Limerick County council  the water department ( the water departments have the
cemeteries in their departments also) and they should be able to give you a list of cemeteries in the
Newcastlewest area plus the contact details for the cemetery supervisors.

Their email address is water[at]limerickcoco.ie (replace [at] with @) or you can look up the website www.lcc.ie   go into waterdepartment.

Good luck with that.

Hi Malla,

Hope it will help you some bit.

I had a look at the census for 1911 which ShaneW put up on an earlier post and noticed that William put Tournafulla in the place for his signature and crossed it out.  Then I checked Glengort and found it to be in Tournafulla.  I did a search on cemeteries in Tournafulla and came across site www.limerickdioceseheritage.org/Tournafulla   Past magic has already mentioned this site but with Templeglantine. 

The following cemeteries seem to be the ones in that area -
Templeglantine West,
Monagea,
Abbeyfeale,
Mount Collins
and also if you go into rip.ie and key in Tournafulla three cemeteries seem to be used for that area currently
1.  cemetery attached to the Church of the Most Holy Trinity Templeglantine
 2.  St Patricks Church Tournafulla
3. St Itas Cemetery Killeedy

Also just a note which might help others  you can find Obits and funeral reports
1880-1922 for the Limerick Chronicle on the following site -
www.limerickcity.ie/media/Media,9270,en/doc

Hope the above will help you
