Plot 0745 in Derry City Cemetery

[Kweiss62]

Hi Anne,
I feel for you with those last names. Now I understand why some people are at this for years.

I am going to try out GRONI now.

As for finding the kids under the name Quig, did you do this on rootsireland? I tried but I seem to keep needing to enter a date. .?

Very interesting. I went on GRONI. Annie Duffy does not come up with a birthdate. bUT she does come up with a death cert. No parents listed but when I viewed the enhanced it showed James Duffy as father of deceased. Poor thing was 5 years old had the measles 8 days and bronchitis 3 days.

Hello.  Whilst doing a family search on Roots Ireland I found details of my Uncle John who died aged 3 months and was buried in plot 0745 at Derry City Cemetery so I wonder if this relates to him?

Welcome to Rootschat. The answer to Plot 0745 is at the beginning of this thread-

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
