My 3X great grandfather, Christopher Leavy lived and died in County Longford in the Diocese of Ardagh and the parish of Templemichael. Seven children were born there. He was buried from the same location on October 22, 1840 at the age of 59. This information was obtained from .nli.ie website. I have two questions, please.
1. The burial information indicated he was from Coolaney. Does the word “from” (Latin de) infer a place of birth or a residence prior to living in Longford County
2. Does anyone know if a death certificate might be available? I would like to confirm his place of birth if possible and know the next of kin. Thank you for any assistance.

Civil registration of deaths in Ireland didn't start until 1864 and Irish death certificates don't list place of birth.

Hopefully someone will be able to answer the Latin query :)

I am debating between Coolaney in County Sligo and Cooleeney in County Longford. i am new in Ireland researching and maybe I will receive another great reply. Thanks again.

It might help if you posted the NLI link to record so others can look at it..?

i will do that. Thank you for suggesting it.

This was posted earlier and a very nice person suggested I attach the nli.ie information. The attachment indicates that information. Third line from the top.

Well you have obviously looked at townlands etc in Templemichael ( http://www.logainm.ie/en/s?txt=in%3a1670&cat=BF&pag=-1&ord=ga ) it is difficult to call!
-
Would I be looking for a townland that resembles the spelling of either Coolaney or Cooleeney on the website you provided? i am just beginning my research in Ireland and and have not yet acquired the confidence I need. Thank you so much for your opinion and for offering the site.

Christiopher Leavy was born about 1788 and lived in the Diocese of Ardagh, County Longford, parish of Templemichael from at least 1808 when his son, Hugh was born there. All seven of the known children were christened in County Longford, Diocese of Ardagh.
He was buried from the same Diocese, County and parish on October 22, 1840. The cemetery is not known. He was married to Joan/Jane Dennigan. I have no other information for her except her name. The marriage was not located in the above location. As I mentioned in my post, there appears to be conflicting information for his burial information that I located on the .nli.ie/parishes website. It indicated that he was from Coolaney and other information indicated Cooleeney. (Different Counties)
Known children and their christening dates:
1. Hugh: August 2, 1808
2. Margaret: October 20, 1810
3. Catherine: January 23, 1813
4. James: August 27, 1815 I believe it is likely that this child died before 1817 when the fifth child was born and receive the same given name. I could find no death information for him. The given name for child #4 and #5 was reported as “Jacobum”.
5. James: September 15, 1817. James immigrated to Montreal,Quebec before 1851 when he married and had children. He died there in 1886.
6. Elizabeth: July 22, 1821
7. Michael: November 23, 1823
