Most Presbyterian churches in cities do not have burial ground but I'm not familiar with Cork. Some cemeteries and records mentioned here-

Queen St is now Father Mathew St; King St is now MacCurtain St. The latter would be where Trinity Presbyterian Church is and this would be closer to Military Rd.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere on the thread but what occupation is listed for him on the death cert? Also, do you know if he lived at Military Rd until he died? Given where his body was found I wonder if you need to spread the net wider than cemeteries in the city.

There is an 1886 listing for a Thomas McPherson marriage in Cork. Have you checked this one out?

On same page in register are 2 possible brides-

Fanny Otter/Fanny Cook (likely married previously)
Sarah Rivett Taylor

It looks like there were Royal Engineers in Fort Camden near where he was found. The death cert doesn't say he was ex-army so assuming it's accurate, if he was stationed at Camden, the nearest cemeteries would be those in Crosshaven. Templebreedy Cemetery next to ruins of St Matthew's Church of Ireland. There's a St Patrick's cemetery as well that I assume is attached to RC Church but don't know if it was open at the time. I assume the next nearest cemeteries would be those that serve Carrigaline.

Yes,thanks to Aghadowey and Sonas,have found the possible marriage and sent an email, as could not fill in the on line form, as at that point did not have a brides name.waiting on reply.

Also found the following piece weeks ago,but unfortunately have lost the link.

,,,,,McPherson an ex British Army Sergeant Major was to be executed as a spy,[ IRA Mallow 1921]
      He had been living in Mallow for some years.
 
      This came from an Irish web site, but may or may not be my man,due to age gap,but his son perhaps,1921 being a much later era.

Very interested to know if there is a second marriage,but Kew flatly deny any Pension Records.
