Death 1864, but death certificate not found - any ideas?

[BEN999]

any idea whom James Moran was Married to ?  or are any of his Children's Death's commerarated on that Headstone, sometimes clues pop-up in wider searches, Ben

Is it possible that he died at sea, body not found ?
Is it possible that he emigrated and died in another country ?
The date on headstone might be incorrect.
I found one date on headstone that was out by 100 years, 1849 should have read 1949.
One grandfather of mine is on death cert as a farmer, but he was a builder, who kept one cow to provide fresh milk for family. The doctor was informant.

Have a look in local papers around date, you may find obituary.
Good luck with the search

St. Otterans burial register is now online ( starts 1862) can be found at www.waterfordcouncil.ie

Good point Aghadowney. There's no clear indication when the headstone was erected unfortunately. He is the first person listed on the headstone though which means that it may have been erected soon after his death.

Are others on the headstone his family?
When names are added, it is often obvious -style/colouring of lettering etc. This might indicate whether all names were inscribed at the one time and just in order of death rather than the various times of burial.

I can only scratch my head at the responses here. Sometimes the obvious answer is not only obvious, but correct. The death simply was not registered.
The non-registration rate, especially in the first few decades, was very high. I am sure it was at least 50% in some areas (based on my personal comparisons of how many years it took to fill death registers in early years, compared with early 1900s - when population was lower!)
