standish darby o'grady, viscount guillamore

[queencorgi1]

This gentleman died 'suddenly' in 1848. His registered place of death was Limerick and he was buried at Knockainey, Limerick. Does anyone know what he died of, or alternatively how to obtain death certificates in Ireland, which seems to be quite difficult?
Many thanks as always.

There were no Death Certificates in Ireland until 1864, when Civil Registration started.

So, the best you can hope for would be a Burial Register?

The Pilot, 26 July 1848: DEATH OF LORD GUILLAMORE  With regrert we have learned the melancholy intelligence of the sudden and unexpected death of the above-named amiable nobleman. His lordship dined on Friday at the mess of his old register (the 7th Hussars) and returned home to his lodgings in Leinster-street, in his usual good health and spirits. The noble lord was seized with illness on Saturday morning, and medical aid was immediately called in, but alas! he drew his last breath about half-past nine o'clock.

May, or may not, have had anything to do with this-
Dublin Evening Packet and Correspondent, 25 July 1848: Viscount and Viscountess Guillamore have arrived at Caher Guillamore from Hampton Court.

Thank you all for your speedy responses! Hallmark, have you any idea what the nature of the 'note on the deaths' including O'Grady would be? Would this be some sort of official note?

Also, can anyone tell me where the burial register would be stored? Are they still kept in their parishes or have they been gathered into record offices as in England? I seem to remember reading that quite a few have been lost or destroyed ...

Not a clue what is in notes!

Many Church of Ireland registers were destroyed after being sent to Dublin for safe keeping. Representative Church Body, Dublin might be able to say what records survive but will not undertake research-
