Need help to find a Death Registration

[Deesider]

Hi can anyone help?

I know that a Thomas Audley died on 28th July 1949 aged 78 at Liss, Headford, County Galway; but I cannot find his death registered in the death indexes.

Is it there and I cannot see it?

Thanks for your help

not on family search either  so probably not registered

Dathai,
Thanks for your reply I am just suprised that in 1949 it would be possible to bury someone without registering their death.

Hello,

Did he definitely die at home?
Was he married to Norah? Do you have her death - just wondering if there is a gap in the records.

Hello -

He appears to have married in Tuam in 1918, possibly to Norah Loban.

A death does not need to be registered before burial in 2016 so I doubt it was needed in 1949.
You have 3 months to register now.

Hi heywood; craggagh & Sinann,

Thanks for your replies to my message and please accept my apologies for not replying sooner; I have been looking after the grandson today.(Great fun).

All I have for Thomas Audley is a copy of a memorial card which states; "Thomas Audley, Liss Headford, County Galway, who died on 28th  July 1949 aged 79 years". The rest of contents is religious text. I believe he died in Liss Headford, County Galway; but my aim of finding the death registration is to confirm that fact.

Yes he did marry Norah Lohan  in 1918. I have not tried as yet to confirm her death; I have been told she was significantly younger than him and therefore her death may have been significantly later than his.

I am suprised that in Ireland you have 3 months to register a death, in England the funeral directors have to view the death certificate before the funeral can take place, which means that in England if you cannot find the death registration it is almost certainly because the name has been miss spelt in the indexes.

A Death Certificate is a Death Certificate! In Ireland the funeral directors have to view the death certificate before the funeral can take place too.

Going to a Registry Office to REGISTER the Death Certificate is Registration.

Hi Hallmark,
Thanks for your comment however it appears to be inconsistant with the link to the funeral directors question and answers :

Q.   Can a funeral take place pending the issue of a Death Notification Form?
A.   Yes; once it has been verbally confirmed that the doctor is in a position to issue the Death Notification Form, the arrangements for the funeral to take place may proceed.
