Newspaper obituaries
« on: Friday 07 February 25 14:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I know that my GGrandfather Cornelius O'Neill died in 1891.  His death is registered in the District of Ballincollig, Cork on 31 March 1891.
Could anyone advise which newspapers I could research to try and find an obituary.  My aim is to find his resting place and this knowledge could in turn shine light on where my GGrandmother Mary is buried.
Thanks in advance

There is the Irish Newspaper Archives

I've had a quick look for Cornelius O'NEILL, however couldn't find an obituary in 1891.

Nope, still not quite there - Cornelius Neill died, etc.
Matters for searching for newspaper articles.
