Samuel James Pigott - obituary in "The Warden" newspaper
« on: Monday 17 June 13 17:03 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Can someone help me to find an obituary for Samuel Pigott who died on 17 June 1853 and was buried at Mt Jerome Cemetery on 20 June 1853. I have the monument inscription from his grave but would like to see his obituary to find out more about his life and family. Thanks for your time.

Samuel died a little while before the Times started published, but probably the best newspaper to check for a possible death notice or obituary would be Freeman's Journal. I dont think the Warden newspaper is available online anywhere.

Dont see where you are based but this is available through some libraries, and on the subscription website IrishNewsArchives, and I think also BritishNewsArchives

The only newspaper of that name that I can find listed on the NLI index is the 'Warden of Galway'.

What's the source of the reference you mentioned ?

wonder if that would be the 'Warder' newspaper ?

It was published in Dublin for the 1820s, and in the 1880s changed it's name to the 'Warder & Dublin Weekly Mail'.

Thank you for your replies, Rootschatters,
I will look into the other papers suggested. An obituary in "The Warden" was mentioned in a letter written in the 1950's by a relative of Samuel's. Thanks again, Margaret.
