Death in Limerick

[Vabre]

When a person died in LImerick City in 1837 and was a Roman Catholic , where would they normally be buried?

Many thanks,

Hi

Probably in St Laurences Graveyard in St Johns.  It was around in early 1800s and later extended in 1840s after cholera outbreak and famine.

Hello L23,

Thank you for your reply. I hope to visit Limerick at the end of September and I will try and visit the cemetery at that time and trust I will be able to gain access the grounds.

yes, you'll be able to access the graveyard, but to warn you, it is huge. I've mailed you with extra information.
