Hi,
I have the following information on great great aunts and uncles but was wondering if anyone knew of or where i could find more information ....
Kathleen Galbally born 1901/02 in Carlow. Died in a fire at the age of approx 10.
John Galbally born 1906/07 in Carlow. Died in a motorcycle accided in his 30s on Meganey Bridge.
I have tried to look at the online paper archives but found nothing but would think that both may have been in some paper.

here's the best match for the death of Catherine :
name: Catherine Galbally
registration district: Carlow
event type: Death
quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1911
age : 10 (est year of birth 1901)
volume : 3 / page : 264
A death cert would give you date and place of death, and should allow a more focused search in newspapers..

best match for John is this one :
Name: John Galbally
Registration district: Athy
Event type: Death
Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1934
Age : 26 (est year of birth 1908)
Volume : 3 / Page: 183
Even though the registration district of Athy is based in Co. Kildare it includes sections of Co. Carlow.

I would imagine that incidents like you mentioned would probably be included in the local paper. Establishing the details from the certs would make that easier as you would have an exact location, and date - which would help establish which paper(s) to check.
The cert would also give cause of death and possibly the name and address for a family member if they were the informant.

Excellent ... are official docs expensive and harder to get from england? sorry for all the questions
-
€4 if you order using the references mentioned above - see :
Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433040.0.html)
Details included on a Death Cert (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433043.0.html)
Research certs are photocopies of the register. Official (i.e. certs required for legal purposes) cost more..

Fantastic thank you ;D
I have just had a look and they are 6 euro now which is still v reasonable but do they post them as from what can see they expect you to collect them which i would be unable to do.
-
Certs are despatched by post from GRO Roscommon, and unless the rates have changed recently, research certs only cost €4 as long as you include the full references - as in the example above. The extra €2 charge is for searches when exact references are not known.
The GRO does have a research room where you can search index books, and order and collect certs in person - it's based in Abbey Street in Dublin.

Thanks Shane.

The local newspaper for Carlow is The Carlow Nationalist which has been in continous print since 1883. At that time it would have been called the Nationalist & Leinster times. There are microfilm copies of all editions in Carlow library but the print quality is not great. It is also on file in the National Library in Dublin

Hi Jack,
My grandad used to live at St Marys Lodge until he retired so I have spent many a summer holiday there :)
The relatives graves which you have found are ones I have visited often as they are of my aunt, great uncles and great grandmothers.
Many thanks though :)

Hello Lynz
I also have links to the Galballys my grandfathers mother was a Galbally daughter of George Galbally. From the Kildare/Carlow area. Maybe there is a connection.
