Hi I'm new to rootschat. Looking for information on 3rd great grandparents Daniel Neving who died 1870 Gorey Wexford and his wife Prescilla Nevin nee Shaw who died 1869 Anne Street Gorey Wexford.
How do I find out where they are buried? Their 2 sons came to Ontario Canada in the early 1850's. Any information on the Neving/Nevin family and Shaw family in Wexford would be greatly appreciated.
Is Neving a mistake for Nevin? I can see a death registration for Prescilla, but not for Daniel, so I wonder where you got the name/date from?
As to your question, you basically have just two (three?) options:
- Do you know their religion? If so, you can check to see if there are any surviving burial registers for local churches (not just Gorey).
- Check the memorial inscriptions for Co. Wexford recorded by the late Brian Cantwell. I believe some commercial genealogy companies have his transcripts available, see
