Great job on the cemetery hunting, Gerry! 

I'm hoping someone can figure this out:
The indexes for workhouse records are online at PRONI, and many sites are saying that if you find your person, you can (hopefully) find that individual's records.

This link explains the how-to:
https://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2022/01/proni-releases-index-to-belfasts-poor.html
...and it says With the date of admission, register number, name and age of an individual, you should be able to locate the corresponding original records held by PRONI


I followed their instructions for James McCabe, as he died in the workhouse, and did find his information, but what now?  I can't see where in PRONI you enter this??  Help!!

Admission date, 24 Aug 1902 (year looks like "12" on the image, it is definitely an "02"), Register number 52, James McCabe, age 44.  (second from bottom on attached image)

I am hoping there is some mention of who the body was released to, or a cemetery destination.

Took a few trials but think I've nearly got it.

False alarm- all I got was back to the index and I think that's the problem- only the index is online but you need to look up the record in PRONI?

... The other bit of information we got was Alice had 2 sisters one was married to a Duffy and lived in Rockville Street where she died and another called Maggie who lived in Iveagh Street and wasn’t married.


The first sister you mention was identified at reply #8. See also reply #13.

I have searched for records of the death of Alice Ellen Mc Cabe/Mc Grath  of 13 Rockville Street Belfast
who died some where in the mid 60s or early 70s . I have trawled the PRONI website but can find nothing !!! she was born 13th Feb 1892. I would be most grateful for help with this one as it would unlock information on her husband John James Mc Cabe as his birth certificate has him as Mc Kinley and he has used the name c Cabe in the 1911 census ????

Could Alice have married again?
She and Jack were both alive in 1961-
Belfast Telegraph, 16 Dec.1961: ... Catherine, dearly-beloved wife of Edmund Duffy, 14 Rockville Street. R.I.P. Deeply regretted by her sorrowing Sister, Brother-in-law and Family. Alice and Jack McCabe, 113 Rockville St.

Online death index for PRONI only goes up to 1975- could she have died after that?

Added- see that information has been posted on a new thread while I was searching-

Many thanks for your reply, I didnt think anyone would see the continuation of this original thread so I opened a new request, sorry for causing you any trouble. Following on from the last year when you and other researchers were helping to solve the Mc Cabe story problem whose name went from Mc Kinstry Mc Kee Mc Cabe etc and John was the only one to keep the Mc Cabe title when he married Alice Mc Grath who we have at last got a death date for and will visit Milltown Office to find the grave which we have never seen before. It would be great if you could find out when Alices husband John died ?? my wife told me Alice referred to him as Jack. Many thanks. G
