Plot 0745 in Derry City Cemetery

[Kweiss62]

I have found documentations for a few different ancestors. They all say plot 0745. I thought that might refer to a family plot. Does anyone know what the plot number refers to?

What sort of 'documentation'? family papers or from an online resource? or something else?

I found a Graveyard Inscription Record from rootsireland. I would like to find out where I could get a copy of the actual death certificate. I am struggling to get a picture uploaded. Will check with my son in law tonight. Also, how can I get right back to this posting? I always go back to my first reply email for the link. There must be a better way. Thanks for your help.

Several ways to get back to this post. If there's a new reply on the thread you can click on the link in your email notification or just sign in then click the 'New Replies' link in the upper left-hand corner.

Sometimes cemetery/gravestone databases assign their own number to a record in their database that have nothing to do with the cemetery's actual records. I suspect that's the case here. Derry City Cemetery is huge and grave references usually include a section number followed by plot number.

Not sure what picture you want to post but you can't post the page from Rootsireland site. Besides which a transcription isn't an actual record.

What death certificate are you looking for? if you post the name, etc. that you know we might be able to find the reference and you'll be able to order the actual certificate from GRONI (depending on date of death).

Hi Kweiss62
The number 0745 just refers to the Londonderry City Cemetery.

In 2010 I wrote to the Irish Family History Foundation about a "Plot No. 0745" on a transcript of a Grave in Londonderry City Cemetery and received the following reply from Brian Mitchell
   "Thank you for your email which Irish Family History Foundation has forwarded to me.

   "The plot number 745 in this cases refers to an ID number for Derry City Cemetery and not to a particular grave.
   "It is only by examining the actual registers of Derry City Cemetery can you identify the location of burial plots."

Hope this helps. Best wishes from Beth

What the email doesn't make entirely clear if that the reference number is their reference and not one from the cemetery records.

I was in Derry this time last year and visted Derry City Cemetery on Lone Moor Road

I was armed with the death info for my ggg grandfather and I knew that he was buried somewhere in the huge cemetery.
The gatehouse was manned and a kind gentleman who was working there did a look up for me from the burial index cards which are held in the little office.
He immediately located the card ( alphabetical order by surname) which also gave details of everyone who is buried in the plot.

This lovely man then got into his car (council van) and asked me to follow him
He took me directly to the grave.

I wonder if there is a phone number for this office?

Marriage certificate - Can anyone read the deceased mother's surname

[Kweiss62]

Regarding the marriage cretic ate I previously posted.... This shows my grandfather James Duffy married my grandmother Esther Ferns on June ninth 1900 at St Mungo's Church in Glasgow, Scotland.
I can make out Esther's parents as John Ferns and Elizabeth Ferns MS Mulholland. That is accurate.
I can make out James' father as James Duffy and Duffy MS (Deceased)

From birth certificates for James and his brother John, I have their mother listed as Mary Quigg. This spelling makes me question myself as to whether I traced back correctly.

I need to solve this issue before I go further. Any suggestions.
