Title: How to find a death/burial date
Post by: Apen on Monday 10 October 16 19:28 BST (UK)

Hi, I wonder can someone tell me how to find when/where my great aunts died and where they may be buried. Their deaths would have taken place in the late 1970s-1980s. I know their last place of residence - names Emily and Mary (Ellen) Lowry (East Belfast). There is no living relative that can help me with this - will GRONI tell me?

GRONI only shows deaths in last 50 years unless you are going to Belfast to look at the records

Thanks for replies...I can get to Belfast, just didn't know if I could find out about deaths/burials less than 50 years old. I have tried the Belfast City burial records and none match although many other members of the family are buried there and I can find their records.

Date span

Once you have a death date, archived local papers may have a report of the funeral/obituary with details of burial place. Would cremations have been a possibility?

Hello,

I hope you don't mind me using your topic.

I was wondering if someone visiting the GRONI search room in Belfast would be able to search some more recent births and deaths for me?

I'd be very grateful for your time and help!

Patrick
