Burial in Ballyronan

[pbd2001]

Hello! I'm trying to track down the burial of Ann Talbot who died on the 20 May 1849 in Ballyronan, County Derry. This was reported in the newspaper later in the year because her husband was a well-known Irish piper, William Talbot. As far as I know, they were Catholic.

There is a twist. William Talbot may have been a stage name. There is evidence that he was born Daniel O'Hoolahan (or a variant of that spelling), so it's possible his wife (who died giving birth to a stillborn baby), was buried as Ann O'Hoolahan. She was around 33 years old when she died.

At the moment I'm not sure if local burials for that period are published anywhere accessible so it'd be helpful to know where I should be searching. Thanks!

PS The original notice recorded that she died at "Ballyronan near Tuam", but I'm starting out with the assumption that 'Tuam' was actually 'Toome', a town near to Ballyronan in County Derry. If I'm unsuccessful with this search, I'll widen my geographical net.

do you know when William/Daniel died? could he be buried with her? i’m assuming he died after her and it may be easier to track his death/burial as it happened later in the 19th century.

William Talbot married again in 1850 and died in Glasgow in 1876 so I'm fairly sure Ann would have been buried in a location close to where she died.

Is that his death in Dennistoun, 1876 with mmn Murphy.

If so, that surname is Talbot.

Where did he marry?

He went by William Talbot most of the time, including in most official documents. When he married Ann Watts in 1843 in Armagh, he went by 'Daniel O’Holihan'. When he married in 1850 in Newcastle, he used 'William O'Houlahan Talbot'.
