The above probate file should be in PRONI, in paper format.
David’s wife is probably Elizabeth Newell who died at Craignageeragh on 6.4.1892, aged 81. She is named as wife of David Newell, farmer. So she pre-deceased him. I think the status on his death certificate as still married is probably an error.
