Finding a grave
« on: Wednesday 02 October 24 17:02 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone....I am trying to find my grandmother's grave in dublin but all the sites I try have no results. I have found her death certificate online and know where and when she died. She died in 1930 at 23 in a hospice in Harold's Cross but can find no record for her in any of the graveyard records online.

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

If you gave us her name, maybe one of the Dublin experts would be able to find out more details?

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

There are two different types of burial records online- those that record only headstone inscriptions and those that record actual burials. If she had no headstone it's possible that it will be very difficult to find a place of burial.

Perhaps she was buried in a family plot- do you know where her husband was buried?
Have you tried searching newspapers to see if place of burial is mentioned?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi everyone  :) with regards to trying to find my grandmother's burial place....I have checked newspapers but no luck :-\ all I know is she was buried in dublin. I understand that in 1930 her family possibly couldn't afford a big burial and a notice in a newspaper.  I am at a loss what to try next.

Fortunately found the Civil Death Register of Certificates and got the death date 29th Sept'r / Registered 30th Sept'r, to make a daily search.


DEATHS Published Tuesday 30th September 1930

Dying, Harold's Cross, Caroline, dearly-beloved
wife of James Mooney, late of Rathmines Ave.;
deeply regretted by her father, grandmother,
sisters, and children. R.I.P. Funeral from the
Hospice on Thursday morning to Mount Jerome.

Mount Jerome was the first privately owned cemetery in Ireland, when it first opened in 1836. It was also the first privately owned crematorium in Ireland in 2000. To date we have received 220,000 funerals for burial and 25,000 for cremation. We receive 200,000 visitors annually.
