Where would a peron be buried 1890

[Essnell]

Hi Hallmark,

To be truthful i have my doubtson them bringing him home. Hi wife returned to England for a while.

at least by 1901 where she is with a daughter but by 1911 she is back in Ireland.   She died there in 1919.  these people worked and lived there for over 30 yrs. i would think it was their home.

However he was from Dorset. it is interesting that no burial comes up on Family search for him.
Also I have come across others who are looking for this same info and are facing the same brick wall.
I am seriously beginning to believe that all burial records for this part of Ireland also got lost in the 1922 attack on the Reg Office in Dublin.    I as well as fire. would have thought some went through water damage.   The water does as much or more damage than the flames being put out - I know from experience.

I thought that the Churches would have kept their records for burials or at least a copy of whom was in their graveyards.   

Henry worked for the O'Callaghans, the owners of Shanbally Castle, for 30 yrs. 

Now also Rose Alexander died in Shanbally, Clogheen in 1919   surely she should be somewhere there.

Rambling a bit there but it just seems very strange .   

Thanks for caring and for helpful ideas

I shall double check England.

Hi Graeme,

Yes the Tipperary Library is very good.

I have used them before and was told Tipperary stuff is very limited as per usual. 

I shall ask again. Mary might just have an idea. 

Thankyou again,
  Addit: I have redone searches for  Henry on both FindMyPast and FS all I get is the death information in both cases.

hi essnell    have you looked at the grave of john alexander died 1935 and is burried in balingarry  perhaps a family plot with earlier unmarked interments

Hi Graeme,

No i have not looked that far forward.  thought rose in 1919 would have been Ok.

What i have been thinking is that I might try to see if I can get this sort of info for any of his children and work back again from there. 

thanks again   let you know what transpires.

Don't forget to try to find out who the local gravedigger is, they often have better records than anyone!

Hi  Graeme ,   HI Hallmark,

Graeme , I lookred up the ballingarry grave yard info and eventually found one John Alexander, there are a mumber of others also recorded on the headstone but none ring any bells.   I'll keep the in fo though as it may prove useful some time or other. 

Hallmark , the grave-diggers is a good idea.   Who and where.

I have the name of a chap who is some sort of caretaker for Shanrahan Historical Graveyard. 

The address is a tad short on info. no postcode/zip and only the district.
there were two sets of numbers - look like phone but do not say so - one could be local and the other mobile.   

There is also a hardware shop in Clogheen  Main Street and the owners are purported to be the local people to contact. I have emailed without success there. 

I shall re think these and see what
thanks for the ideas.
Cheers, Essnell

The g/digger near me is 4th or 5th generation of g/diggers.... you should see their ledgers!

Grid Ref, when bought, no. of burials allowed, single/double/family plot, no. buried, names, dates .....

Same with another I looked at in Longford! Knows where everyone is buried

hi esnail   the local undertakers for Cahir are Wm Costigan and sns whose range would incorporate a no. of the graveyards for the clogheen area  and as such would know a number of the relevant gravediggers.     good hunting
