Denis J Boulger. Where is he buried?

[IAFC55]

Hi

Trying to help a friend find the last resting place of her Gt. Grandfather, Denis J. Boulger.  He was a retired Colour Sgt, possibly in the Royal Irish Regiment, and died on 28 June, 1911 at Linenhall Barracks/Hospital. On the 1911 census he was working as a caretaker and was living in Henrietta Place (Inns Quay, Dublin). She has tried Glasnevin and they have no record of him being buried there.

could he be buried in his home county.

This link to a previous topic may be of interest

Based on dathai’s suggestion I would consider looking at a Kilkenny cemetery; he had children from his first marriage that died in Kilkenny; or a Dublin military one

1848 Denis John BOLGER

James was a Car Driver at the time of his death on Jan 02 1888 aged 64
James’ daughter Mary WALSH of 58 Charleville Avenue, Dublin was informant

I think she died Oct 26 1901

marriage 2 Denis BOLGER to Mary WALSH Jan 30 1905 Kilkenny

Link to 1911 census return for Maria Maud BOLGER
She is listed as a niece at 8 Shanganagh Road, Drumcondra
This is the same address as Sarah is listed at before returning to the Workhouse in 1914

In 1901 James Dee BOLGER was with the WALTONs

Trying to make the link to these Waltons
I wonder if Mary WALTON was mistranscribed as Mary WALSH
on the death record of James BOLGER in 1888 as I was reading a transcription
This led me to find the marriage in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny on Nov 7 1881
of Patrick WALTON of New St., Kilkenny (F) John
and Mary BOLGER of Castlecomer (F) James

I know your original question was where Denis is buried but hopefully it is with other family members and finding out as much as possible will help with the search

[myluck!]

I believe that Sarah BOLGER died in 1929 aged 48 and is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery
I cannot however see a civil death record to match

There is a burial of a Patrick WALTON in 1931 aged 72 also in Glasnevin Cemetery with the word Shanganagh in the address - his grave has further burials and extended details; presumably Mary, his wife, is also buried there at least.

I would assume that Sarah is in a different grave as there is only a standard report available for her

Thanks very much for all of the info. I have passed it onto my friend, she has some of it, but a good bit of new stuff as well so quite excited and looking forward to getting stuck in.

I appreciate this post was a long time ago, but Denis Boulger was also my Great Grandfather, Gordon Frederick Taylor who unfortunately died before I was born, married Margaret Boulger in Shanghai, they had 5 children Daphne, Ernie, Dennis, Michael and my father Brian, if your friend would like to contact me I'd love to hear from her.
