I am a researcher with the Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum in Armagh,We are trying to locate all those who fell during WW1 & WW2 so as their names can be put on the War Memorial.
We Know when John died but cannot find where he was buried?I have searched all the local papers, but I have not found a mention of his grave.
Many thanks for replying to the roots article

Joe thanks for replying, I was in the museum about a month ago lookig about my gggrandfather Arthur Allen who was in Macedonia, it is a great museum. About John Edmund Mullarchy, its all very complicated, his father was a teacher from Co. Sligo he moved about a lot. J E was born in Arklow, his father died in Mountmellick. J E met his wife Mary Jane Bothwell who was form Silverbridge in Monaghan near Middletown. Her sister was married to his brother a teacher who sadly died and in buried in the parish church there, Tyholland. His brothers widow moved to Ballyhalbert and re married. J E. was a chemist among other things, and lived for a time in Belfast on the Dublin Road and was a librarian then SE Fermanagh and Scotshouse and worked in Clones and then being older enlisted for the Medical corp. His record of discharge is available on Ancestry.com where I discovered the details of how he seems to have had a stroke while in a hospital in France and was discharged and later died in Middletown. After his death his wife and younger children moved to Ballyhalbert where Mary Jane died in 1925 and we think is buried there though ther is no grave stone. Perhaps this is beacuse 2 sons had emmigrated to Ontario, (one son Thomas Wilson Mullarchy served in the BEF in WW1) the other children here fell on hard times.
Because the family dispersed we do not know where either John Edmund or his wife are buried. We have humnted the graveyards around Middletown, Tynan etc. but nothing. We do not know if he was buried in his brothers grave, where Mary Jane Bothwell's family are buried, or if he was buried in Ballyhalbert, most likely not. I would be grateful to know what the press notice said. I also have a suspicion that he been in the army before WW1. hopethis is a help.

There is a CWGC Headstone for Private John Edmund Mullarchy in Middletown Presbyterian Church. I have a photo of this but the attachment is to large. I hope this helps, your search.

Why not just resize it??
Right click on photo, Open with Paint, resize it to maybe 60% and save it as mullarchy_copy for example so you still have original too.....
