Is it possible that someone could look up an entry in the records office for Mayo if there is such a thing for an early entry. I am trying to find a William Browne who died 25th March 1872 and was said to have been 70 I am hoping that there might be more info on the register also trying not to be greedy but any hope of finding a marriage for him circa 1840 to a lady called Honor ? I had hoped that I could find her maiden name of the birth of their children but Bridget circa 1840 John circa 1846 and Thomas circa 1847 but I cannot find anything that could help on line. If there such info out there I would love to know how to find it. Many thanks in advance, Joan D'Arcy
Ooops I just realised I never said where he lived it was in Carrowcally, Westport.

You have to order death Certs from 1872, €4 for a photocopy, but they will be online eventually for free.

The rest are too early for Civil Registration.
If you know which parish the parish registers are online free

Oh dear, no register to speak of for that parish

Thank you for your replies it was most kind of you, I guess I will just have to try and be patient and wait until I go to Ireland and try and see if I can get more info there, once again thank you. regards Joan

Thank you I thought I had looked at the Irishgenealogy.ie for his death and was unable to find it but will look again once again thank you. I am puzzled I have just looked again and found his death but there is no image so how did you know Honor was the informant and that he died at Cullenbeg?

There is a transcription on a paid site which I checked for you

Gosh well thank you very much, it was very kind of you to take the trouble, Joan
