Drumcondra churchyard

[ZIGSHAR]

Does anyone have information on the Drumcondra churchyard? My understanding is that it is Church of Ireland yet I have family buried there who were RC. I can only imagine they were buried there do to the proximity to their home on Clonturk Ave. I don't live in Ireland but have been to the churchyard a number of times on family visits and know there are some famous people buried there. Thanks in advance.

Do you have access to the book "Dublin Burial Grounds & Graveyards" by Vivienne Igoe (ISBN 0-86327-872-8)?

If you do, pages 94 - 100 are devoted to Drumcondra Church & Graveyard.

Thanks for the information. I'll be sure to find a copy.

My Grandfather James Ball is buried in grave No.68 which is just inside the gate. He died in 1975.
I'm not sure if we are related in some way as I am only very new to researching my family tree.
You will have to bear with me while I get all my ducks in a row

Welcome My Crew,
Just had a look at ZIGSHAR's posts and in January 2012 she also looked for the Ball family, see this link http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=578568.msg4305843#msg4305843
In 1911 the Ball family are at 9 Millbourne Ave, Drumcondra
and 1901 at 10 Melbourne Ave..http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Drumcondra/Drishogue__Melbourne_Ave_/1271769/

My Crew,

I got interested in this topic and am keen to know how you are progressing with your research. If you make three posts you will be able to PM Zigshar who could possible be related.

Sorry, I've been remiss in regard to this topic. I hope to get birth Certs later this week
to help me further.

I am related to James Ball. He was my grandfather's first cousin. My grandfather, Thomas Mc Donnell, as a young man lived in Millbourne Ave. His father - Patrick was the brother of Sarah the mother of James Ball.

Hi AnnMarie,
During my research on James and Sarah Ball (Nee McDonnell), I noted that Patrick's wife Mary also lived in the same building in Drishogue, Millbourne, and later living in 10 Millbourne Ave. I had guessed that perhaps Sarah and Mary were sister in-laws! I found Patrick's death record online. You probably already found this information, but Patrick's parents were Jacobus and Sarah Mc Donnell (nee Moore) and they also had another daughter called Maria. They were originally from Celbridge, but seemed to move to Dublin in the 1830/40s and I think lived in 17 Lwr Sherrard Street (address at marriage cert of Sarah and Maria) but on Patrick McDonnell's marriage cert is notes his address at Green Street. He was a police constable. I never found James/Jacobus McDonnell's death record, but found the death record of Sarah McDonnell (Patrick's mother) who died in Millbourne Avenue, and James Ball was present at her death. Hope this helps!
