Thanks for the comments, no they are buried in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.  I have ready discounted the death for Mary in 1921 and My great Grandparents married in 1898, Hanora's maiden name was Coughlan.  He got pensioned off from the RIC in 1922 and they left ireland after the troubles started.

....."When one of great aunts was alive she said that her mother died in the flu epidemic after the 1st world war and two of her sisters also died before they left Ireland too....."

"....The house the family lived in is still in the family today......."

So can they not check Cemetery Records for the 2 that died, whatever their names were...

Sorry I mean the house they lived in when they left Ireland and moved to Herts is still in the family.  There seems to be no viewable copy of any cemetery records for Mitchelstown anywhere either.

It would probably help if you posted the Christian names of those who died in Ireland

The sisters I'm looking for are Mary and Annie, and of course great grandmother Norah

I found Mary's birth but not Annie's - was she registered with a different name as was Elizabeth Lilly who I think I saw as Elizabeth Johanna?

If you are sure they died in Mitchelstown, I wonder if you could ask local registrar to check? Perhaps there are omissions due to the times.

If she was from Youghal, the Births  might be there, many went home to give Birth....

1911 Census shows:
Mary Josephine 8 yrs
Annie Eveleen 7 yrs
Elizabeth Lilly 6 yrs

Births:
Mary Josephine 8th August 1902 Youghal
Elizabeth Johanna 5th November 1904 Kinsale

As yet, I can't see Annie. Just wondered if she had a different name which might help trace her death.
