Tipperary / Re: Help needed to find Nixon family - Roscrea

I don't see a death up to 1965 in Roscrea and he could still be living but if not a death notice in a newspaper might be your best bet, more recent ones are usually online but for earlier this site can be useful https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/ they do a 24 hour sub for €10.
I know. My apologies for hijacking the thread to look for a (potentially) living person, but it's been really helpful seeing past family history too.
I'll get on to the link above later on. My only problem is that my Grandfather may or may not have moved back to the UK (although the last known address is in Roscrea). So he may or may not have died in the UK too.
As you've said, the name is pretty common, but I've been blown away by the help people have given here in such a short time. I really didn't expect this.
