Royal Hibernian Military School - Dublin
« on: Monday 26 May 25 17:26 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help?
I am trying to find a burial record for a WW1 soldier who is believed to have been buried at the former  Royal Hibernian Military School Protestant graveyard in Dublin.
John Lewis Richardson died on 31 Jan 1918 after serving with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. He is known to be buried in that graveyard.
The School is long gone but (according to Wikipedia) it now forms part of St Mary's Hospital with the graveyard still in existence.
Does anyone know where the Burial Records can be found?
I would be very grateful for any help.

I guess you could also/or try the Superintends office of the Phoenix Park, they have the originals.

Hi

I read it that he died in Peamount Sanatorium, in Co Dublin.  See:
