I have just received a death certificate that I believe is my Great Grandmothers. MARY RYAN died on the 17th March 1912 according to the certificate. I know for a fact that she was buried at Bohermore cemetry on the 21/3/1912, I have records of all in the grave. Doubts have come into my mind, firstly, because it says that she died in Galway Workhouse aged 36, she died of Pernicious Anaemia. Was the workhouse a hospital at the time does anyone know? The certificate says she was from Middle Street which is true, but it says wife of Labourer which is untrue. Her husband MICHAEL RYAN was a caretaker then Club Steward at the Mechanics Institute on Middle Street. Michael was a Labourer back in the 1870s.Also the death would have been registered after her burial according to the certificates date, is this normal?
I do hope someone can advise me before I claim this Mary as mine! Thanks

Jacqui,
I know of the Mechanics Institute in Middle Street Galway - a fine building which has survived the redevelopment of city centre Galway.
The mention of the term" labourer" is quiet common, especially if a person didn't fit into the more common trademens names in those times . There is a woman in Galway who I believe lives in the Mechanics Institute who is very knowledgeable about Middle Street, Old Galway and especially the Mechanics Inst - Nuala Nolan c/o MI. Middle Street Galway .
The difference between dates is not uncommon - I have a relative whose death is recorded in the newspapers but no record in the death registers!
Regards
Eamonn H
