Joseph Quirke

There really aren't that many cemeteries/graveyards available on that website- and many that are included only have partial transcriptions. Remember that some gravestones might not be legible and also that even more people didn't have a marker for their grave- family too poor to erect one, burial in common ground which doesn't allow markers, etc.

Thanks aghadowey I had thought of that, and as he had no immediate family staying with him that might be the case.  I wonder if he had a burial through the catholic church. They might have a record of what cemetery  they buried him.  Will have  look at their churches sites. Cheers

The two largest cemeteries operating in the Dublin area at that time were Glasnevin and Dean's Grange, so I'd start with those. Glasnevin has a (pay) website.. see the Dublin Graveyards link mentioned earlier. Except for a few extracts, Deans Grange records are not online.

Do you have some clues that indicate that your Joseph was in Dublin at the time of his death ?

No shane, the info that I have submitted was all that I managed to get. I will try the ones you have suggested either by the net or by post/telephone. I am thinking maybe if the Registration District is Dublin South maybe he did die in Dublin as if outside their area it would maybe be another Registration District. I don't know. Thanks

Hi again,

the details you quoted are those from the index to the death record.  Do you have the complete record?  Are you sure that the Joseph who died in Dublin is your Joseph?

[bestdriver]

Hi Dudley. Yes the details I have got are correct. My grandfather Joseph returned to Eire in 1931 and stayed there until he died. His DOB is May 1890. I am waiting for the death certificate from the GRO which they say should arrive by Monday.  Thanks

If a hospital staff member or unrelated person was the informant on Joseph's death certificate the details may not be accurate (and this is often true when family members are the informant). Death certificates for that period do not list date or place of birth.
