I hope it's alright to make this post.
I've tried every known free website/database I could find on the web and can not seem to find any mention of the following death.
Back in 1989, my Dad, my Grandmother, and I went to Ireland. One of our stops was Kilkenny to visit Grandfather's 1st cousin: Josephine (Josie) Neary.
She lived at 6 Kickham Street, Kilkenny City.
Right around the corner, on James Green [street], was where my G-Grandfather's Eyre family lived (extended family occupied another house in the same street).
Right now, I know nearly nothing about Josie. I have no clue exactly in what way the Neary family is related to the Eyre family. Hence my search, as I've always been curious.
I do know Josie died in the summer of 1995. I assumed she stayed in the same house until her death. If not, in the same city.
She did have a sister that lived in Canada, whom I corresponded with once (but that letter is lost). I believe her name was Catherine.
Now, at the GenForum, earlier this year, there was another looking for a Josephine Neary ... who had a daughter named Mary ... and this was Mary's grand-daughter looking for the information. And member came back with the following information. I am going to assume, for now, that this is my Josie.

John Neary
2nd wife: Mary McCabe
Kids: John, Joseph, Mary, Josephine, Catherine
John d.c. 1940, Brooklyn, NY. [does d.c. have to do with death?]
If someone in Kilkenny would be willing to do a lookup for Josie's obituary or even can obtain a copy of the death certificate ... just anything I can use to try to confirm other family member names ... have a birth date ... anything to begin working backwards in the search on the Neary family.
My 2 year search on the internet has come up dry thus far for this family.
Thanks in advance,
Barbara
