Killiskey roman catholic graveyard
« on: Sunday 13 September 15 14:43 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace my great grandmother.  I know her birth name was Mary Byrne (born to William Byrne and ? Brady) and that she married James Pierce in 1911.  The main things I am trying to find out are her date of birth and date of death.  I am hoping to get my hands on her death cert as I am curious to know how she died.  I don't know where she/her father came from originally - on the 1901 and 1911 census records she is living with different uncles (Brady's) in Ashtown, Roundwood.  She died when my grandmother was very young (who was born in 1913) All I know is that she is apparently buried somewhere around Killiskey (she would definitely have been roman catholic)  Does anyone know where this graveyard actually is that I could go and look? Or would the church have kept burial records and if so how could I access these?  Any help would be much appreciated!

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Thanks for those.  Nothing is jumping at me from the headstones.  I'm guessing she died somewhere between 1915 and 1920.  One of my uncles did think she had a brother Michael so that may well be him on Family Search.

I had seen that entry but on a different website and it didn't give her age at the time of death.  35 sounds about right.  That is too early to request the death cert online.  Is the only way to get it to go to GRO in Dublin? I live in England at the moment which makes it difficult.

I too had seen the entry on Irish Genealogy civil records with no age thats why i went to Family Search to see what was recorded there,and it looks about right.
I am not too familiar with ordering research certs online but do know that you can have them emailed to you ask for a research copy only  4euro.
I dont live too far from GRO so usually hop in and get my own.

i'm sure someone with better knowledge of that process will advise you shortly.

Funny that Irish Genealogy don't have the full details and Family Search do.
There is no problem ordering a 1920 cert from England. Peobably easiest instructions are to go to this page of instructions on Irish Genealogy.ie
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/civil-records/help/i-want-to-get-a-copy-of-a-certificate-what-do-i-do
You want 1a. for a research photocopy cert. Download the form at the yellow 'HERE' link and fill in. All instruction for payment and postage are on the form. The only snag really is that being in the UK and not being able to pay in Euro you will have to write your credit/debit card details on the form.
