Hi Katie

Back to your earlier notes - (on here) .. can you somehow check records of his actual 'birthplace'?(you've listed possible ''homes'').  That would be the best starting point - especially as you'd know your grandmother's full name.

'Salvation Army's 'family tracing unit' -on-line have access to ALL files (bmd/Hospitals/NHS/etc) 
The 'Salvo's have an office in London (poss more) for ''interviews''.  (They have a site on-line)

They helped find someone else's 'missing father' who had re-married and settled in Aus 1960's.
(They only charge if any fees incurred - 'free' for family members if on pensions)

(The Salvo's are 'worldwide')

Family History Beginners Board / unmarked communal graves
« on: Monday 17 October 22 05:42 BST (UK)  »
In case this helps others....
when tracing burials of my grt/grandad (d1912 Catford) and grandad (d1950 Lewisham) I contacted their 'Lewisham Council' -where they had both lived/died. 

The Council directed me onto their Public Library's 'local studies' unit which holds all burial records for each of their 5 cemeteries.

They were found to be in separate cemeteries ('Ladywell' & 'Hither Green') - (sadly) in  'communal unmarked' graves. (buried with about 6 others who had died same week -just one small statue for one of the  others)

Fortunately I was permitted to leave them both 'non-bio-degradable plastic' notices (+peg).  (+small glass dome of flowers).

(my own local funeral parlour (in Aus) prepared the notices (freely) -they use them as a temporary measure - but in my/'our' case - permanent)

Hi Robbie
Following on....
 'Ask a Librarian' service (at 'WA State Library') will check their electoral rolls (past & present) for any descendants' addresses hopefully mentioned in newspaper death notices.

Hi Robbie
The 'Names & Location' site (on-line) shows a death for an Allan Gilbert 21/1/2015 age 91yrs.
Suggest you 'Ask a Librarian' at the 'West Australian State Library' (on-line) to check for newspaper death notice/s -from 21/1/2015 ...for family names etc.

Hi Jan

NSW/BDM shows a Sarah Butts died 1848 aged 63yrs  (Ref 185/1848 V1848 185 33B)
 
A 'transcription service' (on-line) should be able to 'search' this for further details.

Hi -

'Yes'  …….. I'm interested in learning more of your link with John Hourihan.  I have only just come across your info. 
Please can you 'pm' me?

I tried to 'pm you' - without success!  (Think you need to 'post' another one or two posts to connect.)

Hi Keith
I'm not sure where you found me on 'Rootschat'!??  However I will give you MY family links!
Our family descends from 'Hourihan/e-O'Brien' - areas Dunmanway/Drimoleague/Bandon/Leap.

MY g/grandad was George BRIEN b1829 Dunmanway to John Brien and Mary nee Leary.
(they re-settled in Woolwich c1845 - George BRYAN dCatford 1912.

My grandad (their lstborn) John Henry BRYAN d Lewisham 1950 (m Clara Muggeridge d1924) 

My father Charles Henry BRYAN b Lewisham 1915 emig 1951 & d Perth WAus 1985.  (my home)

Misc notes:
Margaret Brien (g/dad's sibling (parents John & Mary nee Leary) b 1837  m John Crowley (?)
James     Brien "            "             "               "                          b 1839  m Catherine Collins b1843                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ….                                                                                          Bantry  mother Ellen Collins b1805
A few years back -John Hourihan of Dublin (now d) shared 'Hourihan/e-Brien' info i.e. his parents were Timothy & Mary Hourihan/e-O'Brien from Leap. 

Valerie (nee Bryan)
