Armagh / Re: help dont know where to look? missing grt uncle leahey ireland

If the family were Presbyterian then also check the local Church of Ireland graveyard (many Presbyterians would have been buried there since it was once the Established Church. However, since the Leahey family seems to have moved around quite a bit there might not be an old family plot there).

Also, most Presbyterian churches do not keep burial records and not all families have headstones for their plot.
   :-[ its not going to be a easy one lol  thanks for your help

For reference here's the link to 1911 census for the family- the family are shown as 'Protestant' on transcript but Presbyterian on actual form:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Lisnadill/Killyfaddy/323441
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001619765/

"Under the 1821 Irish Lunatic Asylums for the Poor Act, eight or nine District Asylums opened in Ireland (by 1835) at (eight of them) Armagh, ..." http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Armagh/
The other county asylum was in Lurgan- http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Lurgan/

Perhaps see if you can find a death certificate for William Henry Leahey and then work back from that date to 1911 census. Online Irish civil registration index goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties- www.familysearch.org
   :) thanks for the links ... that will keep me busy for a while lol  i hope he turns up even the search engines keep changing the surname spelling on me from Leahey to Leahy ?   so it takes twice as long  :-\
