Thank you for sharing the link for this video. I've just watched it. It's very insightful and helpful...lots of tips for searching more effectively on Irish Genealogy.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. Just to clarify, I'm wasn't actually looking for information on the Stephen in my tree. The death certificate I received was for a different Stephen I.e. Stephen James Barry who according to his death certificate was from Bunduff, born in 1910 and died in Birmingham in 1973.

So as to help anybody who thinks the Stephen on the death certificate might be part of their tree, I located a birth registration (in Bunduff) but wanted to point out there there were some discrepancies - one year of difference in the birth year (1909) and a different second name, Stephen Patrick as opposed to Stephen James. Otherwise, the date and month, and also the place of birth match the details given on the death certificate.

As this is not the Stephen Barry I was looking for, I was offering the death certificate to somebody who has interest in this family.

I have since found the 'Unwanted Certificates' section and have posted the details there.

Thanks again

I have been trying to locate the death of a Stephen Barry who is in my family tree. I ordered a death certificate for a Stephen James Barry who died in Birmingham on the 24th December 1973 as the date of birth on the index matched up but unfortunately it is not the Stephen Barry that I am looking for.

The death certificate that I have is for a Stephen James Barry, born in Bunduff on 26th December 1910 who was living in Erdington, Birmingham when he died in December 1973. Stephen's occupation was given as a joiner on the death certificate.

I have located the birth registration of a Stephen Patrick Barry, born in Bunduff on 26th December 1909, a year out with the date given at the time of death. The parents were James Barry and Eliza (nee Barry).

He is also listed at age 1 on the 1911 Census.

If you are researching this family and would like the death certificate for Stephen, I would be very happy to pass it on. Just pm me.

I have located two graves for the Duck family at Lackan (Lacken) graveyard. You can find it on Google Maps by searching: Lackan Chapel & Graveyard, Lackan, Nolagh, Co. Westmeath, co-ordinates 53.63753, -7.42625). Lackan is a very small burial site, where part of the ruins of the Chapel still stands.

Based on Census records, this is the burial place of three of Daniel's brothers, Thomas (d.1970), John (d.1977) and Hugh (d.1979) along with his sister-in-law Elizabeth (d.1969) and Baby Stephen. There was also a burial in one of the plots just a year ago. I had been thinking of Multyfarnham, as KG suggested, but the death notice for the more recent death led me to Lackan. 1969/1970 are the earliest records on these headstones. It is quite possible that Daniel is buried here too. Also, there are a lot of old headstones whose inscriptions are not legible. I have submitted a query to the Parish of Multyfarnham to see if there is a record of Daniel's burial as I think Multyfarnham Parish also covers Leny/Leney and Lackan. I will post if I get a response.

Cyril,

I would be very interested in any burial records for McDonagh/McDonough or Dunn(e) in the parish of Allen, possibly including a Patt and Margaret McDonagh, who I think were my 3xgreat-grandparents.

Many thanks for the offer,
Marcello
