I'm trying to find some information on  Cissy Kearns  Tydavnet.    I think she died back in 1963.
I would like to know where she  was from originally and where she is buried and indeed any other info.

Thanks.

Thanks.   

I would like to add some more info which I think is correct.
Cissy may have been a pet name and her real name may have been  Josephine .
She may have been married to a Garda.

Thanks for any info.

If she was RC then probably buried in RC g/yard, Presbyterian in a Presbyterian Cemetery etc so if you found out her religion it would cut down on options.

I should have mentioned that she was Catholic.
Also  she may have been in her late 70's/80 's when she died.
Thanks. m

Just a little reminder on this one.   Any help appreciated.  Thanks

I wonder if this could be the family in the 1911 census with the spelling Kerins:

This looks like the same family in Newbliss in the 1901 census:

Edit:

Note that the enumerator is John Kerins who would normally have been on the form as Head of Household but is recorded at the barracks.  That's the first time I have seen that.

...and this looks like the father in Newbliss barracks as J.K., constable:
