Death of Great great grandfather Dublin 1872

[Desmond]

Hi everyone
can anyone give any advice on the following .My great /great grandfather (Jeremiah Colclough) married in Dublin in 1871 and died the following year in 1872.I believe he may have worked as a Land agent clerk in Dublin Castle .
Can anyone give any advice on how to find out more about him
a) how he died ( only have his interrment cert for Glasnevin but not cause of death)
b) where would I go to find out where he worked etc.

I have his address in Dublin as first Buckinham St and then Harwicke St ( Thoms)
He is a bit of a puzzle in the family and would love to find out more.Any suggestions appreciated
thanks

I searched the online civil registration index for 'Jeremiah Colclough' died '1872' 'dublin' but didn't get any results.
www.familysearch.org
Then removed 'dublin' and see what looks like the 1871 marriage-

baptism of a son to Jeremiah and Bridget in 1872

  Baptism of Patrick John Colclough - 20 March 1872   
  Parish : St. Mary's RC (Marlborough St.)

[shanew147]

think this may be the marriage, with his name as Corneilius...

  Marriage of Cornelius Colclough & Brigida Mc Cormack - 10 July 1871
  Parish : Rathmines RC, South Dublin

The groom's father is listed as Jeremiah

I checked for a possible death near 1872 under Corneilius on the BMD Index, but no match.

I see the 1872 entry, Jeremiah age 25 on Glasnevin - wonder if the name is correct...

Hi Shanew
yes what you have is correct.He married in Rathmines 1871 and died 1872(Glasnevin records) with one son Patrick born March 1872.
I too cannot get a date on his fathers (Cornelius) death and as posted cannot get any link to his early death.
Was also wondering how to find out any info on where he may have worked at time (Dublin Castle)

[shanew147]

I was thinking the Christian names may be mixed up, so was looking for an 1872 death under Corneilius since that seems to be the name on the parish record of marriage.

Do you have a address for your Jeremiah from the Glasnevin record ?

The civil marriage cert should give you his occupation. The references you need to order a cert are included in the link on aghadowey's post

  Name: Jeremiah Colclough
  Record Type : Marriage
  Year: 1871
  Registration District: Dublin South
  Volume : 12 / Page : 644

A matching reference appears for Bridget McCormack

see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

I worked out the address from the Glasnevin website - 47 Hardwick St., same as the baptism of his son

I'll check Thom's 1872 directory later to see if there's any entry for him at that location

[myluck!]

There is an entry in the Irish Times of June 22nd 1872 on page 8 referring to a Jeremiah Colclough of Hardewick St referenced death

Hi all
thanks for your efforts so far .Just to clarify for you (so you dont have to double check some records)
His name is Jeremiah (his father is Cornelius) He lived in 47 Hardwicke Street and this is also verified in Thoms Directory. On his death cert from Glasnevin he was listed as a Land agent Clerk .I heard stories in family that this may have been in Dublin Castle and hence my interest in

a) any records from Dublin Castle - do they keep them etc etc
b) how would I found out how he died as it is not on cert in Glasnevin or Irish times listing

thanks again
