TYPO?
« on: Sunday 01 December 13 17:59 GMT (UK) »
Mr John Godsil bandmaster of Monasterevan died Feb 27 1901 at the Drogheda Memorial hospital,Curragh, and was buried in the Pass cemetary.
quote from the Kildare Observer, i have googled and tried different ways to bring up Pass co Kildare
is it perhaps a typo for Naas or is there a graveyard by that name in a surrounding county.

That hospital was known as 'the jockey hospital' up to recently when it became a hospice.

Pass does sound like a typo for Naas, but there is a military graveyard on the Curragh now closed, just trying to figure out what it is called, I think there is a list of burials from it somewhere online. In recent years military burials are usually in Newbridge.
