St Ita's Hospital Portrane Records

[Cazwhelan]

Hi, I have recently discovered that my grandad John Kelly, who was in the Irish Army and was sent to Portrane in 1956 I think? I have his death certificate which says he died age 32 on 24th December 1956, but am struggling to find out where he was buried or how he died, is there any way you can help me find out please? I can send a copy of the certificate to anyone that might be able to help.

As he was such a young man he must still have been serving at time of death so Army should have record of his burial.

Thanx for your reply, do you no who I would contact to find out? His death Cert says Irish National Army, and my nana had a pension from him, but when I google it there’s a loads of different numbers and addresses, could anyone narrow it down for me a bit, so I’m looking in the right places
