Cause of death 1847 Dublin
« on: Thursday 31 August 17 17:51 BST (UK) »
Hi there, I have a burial record at St Marks Dublin on 28th February 1847 for Joseph Huddart aged 26 of Maryport (Cumberland) I am not familiar with Irish records in the slightest. Is there any way of obtaining a death certificate/ discovering the cause of death? The family story is that he was a customs officer who drowned. I know he was a mariner on his marriage in 1844 (father John was also a mariner and a John Huddart was captaining a ship called Relief between Maryport and Dublin/ Belfast that year according to shipping news in newspapers of the time)
Thanks in anticipation, Christine :)

Irish civil registration started in 1845 with the recording of non-Catholic marriages and civil weddings held at local register offices.

From 1 January 1864, all births, all marriages and all deaths (bmds) had to be registered. If the bmd you seek dates from before 1845/1864 you will have to seek out the relevant church records.

Thank you all. He is not my direct line as such, my 3xg grandmother's first husband, I do like to tie up loose ends where possible, but looks like I will have to let this one lie.
