Judith / Julia Connell - Addergoole

I suspect it was just a thank you for posting that part tree and your information.
As I wrote earlier, death/burial records are rare before civil registration so if Judith died early, I doubt you will find a record.
If you have searched her siblings marriages and their children’s baptism records and not found her as a witness/sponsor, that may indicate an early death too.
I would love to be able to help further but that is all I can think of at the moment.

It would be good if we could all do that, wouldn’t it.

Some questions for OP:

- You state that the Rattigan's provided the burial plot where all the O'Connells are buried. But John Rattigan didn't marry Mary O'Connell until 1945. How could the Rattigans possibly provide a burial plot for people who were already long dead and buried for many years before 1945?

- Already mentioned, but Judith is actually more likely to appear as Julia and Joanna. Have you searched using all name variations? [I have many Julias in my family, and I can attest that the name varies in this way for the same persons in many records].

- As for different locations being mentioned, you need to become familiar with the physical geography. Some places mentioned are townlands, others parishes, others again probably registration districts.

There are three basic explanations for the "disappeared":
- Died young
- Emigrated
- Death not registered.

All three are quite possible. In my own families, people I though must have died young or went unregistered turned out to have emigrated.

Another variation of the name Judith is Judy.
