Grave Inscription - Elizabeth MITCHELL

[Beth42]

I have a received Gravestone Inscription for Co. Derry which is of interest to me as it could be my great grandfather's first wife.
"Elizabeth Mitchell, Date of Death: 2 Jul 1876, Age: 41, Address: Orchard Row, Parish/District: Templemore Co. Derry, Graveyard:Derry City Cemetery, Place of Birth Magilligan."
However when I checked "Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958" I could not find a corresponding record. I would like to find out a bit more about this burial. Any ideas please on how I should proceed.     Beth
PS I live in New South Wales, Australia so am unable to visit cemeteries etc

Hi Bob
Thank you so much for the MITCHELL burial details from https://www.derrystrabane.com/cemeteryrecords - I have found it a wonderful resource as it filled in so many of the gaps in my family - infants I knew nothing about and the fact that parents names were recorded, took me back another generation. It is a great resource and many thanks for your help. James Mitchell (1844-1919) whose obituary you sent to me many years ago, had five siblings who all went to USA and I discovered that James younger sister Catherine married James SNELL  (brother of Elizabeth SNELL). Cheers from Beth
