Hatchell and Dempsey in Rathdrum
« on: Tuesday 24 September 24 21:22 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the burial place of an Elizabeth Mary Dempsey nee Hatchell who died on the 8th of October 1927 in Rathdrum in Wicklow.
I have looked on FindAGrave for the cemeteries in Rathdrum but no record has been added for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was born in Rathdrum in 1899 and married a Patrick Joseph Dempsey in Rathdrum in 1925.
Both parents lived and died in Rathdrum but I have yet to find a death record for her husband Patrick.
The family may not have had money for a headstone. I know in Scotland the local registry office can be helpful in finding a grave but I don't know where to ask in Ireland.

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Is this her death?

She didn’t die in Rathdrum, she died at Strand St. Wicklow Urban District otherwise Wicklow town.

Hi there

Yes that is her and I realise she died at Strand Street but why was the death registered as Rathdrum?  Was that just the nearest Registry Office?
I know in Scotland, especially the Highlands, events can be registered far from where they actually occurred.

Her death would have been registered in Wicklow but that is in the Superintendent Registrars District of Rathdrum.
Have a look at the top of the image.
I was surprised she wasn’t in Wicklow but if you look there are no deaths in Wicklow in 1927 so I think it’s a case of Wicklow becoming a Superintendent District at a later date.

Edit, putting in Wicklow as the Reg District on Irish Genealogy for Births, Marriages and Deaths there are only 98 results

Hi

Patrick was young when Elizabeth died.  Have you checked to see whether he re-married.

It would be worth checking to see if Patrick (a widower) re-married after 1927.

Have you been able to find a marriage?

I asked that question already today.  No need to duplicate
