Hi,

Thank you Kingkerwell,
 for your quick reply, John Newell ( another one ) and Robert Ferris, errm Her name is down as Ferries do you think that is just spellling error???

Hi,
   Yes, I think that the name should be Ferris. That is how the Ulster Historical Foundation lists it.

Regards

It is only in fairly recent times that spelling of surnames in Ireland has become standardised so Ferries is likely just another version of Ferris, probably not a transcription error.

hi
 l am Annie newels ( Suzanne may10 1903) granddaughter - my mother was Dorothea Coffey. l am looking for info on her mother ?Margaret newels who died  in her early 50's from breast CA. l cannot find a birth date or death date marriage date is 1889 she was 20, census 1901 28, and census 1911 40. l have  tried multiple options but l need to see her death certificate to see if there are any clues. l have seen several other death certificates from others newels at the time but l know that  cancer was a shameful thing and so it may be that it was recorded as something else. also l  have been  told that ? Minnie too died early form  similar s any info would be very welcome.

I've see various types of cancer listed on many Irish death certificates for the period. Usually only the primary cause is listed so if she died of something like pneumonia or heart failure it will be listed as the cause of death but it doesn't mean that anyone was trying to hide the fact that she also had cancer.

See here for details that will be listed on Irish death certificates-

The online civil registration index only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties (which may be why you couldn't find Margaret Newll's death) but GRONI's new online database has later listings.

Here's one possibility-
Margaret Newell, age 54, died 13 Sept.1924 Kilkeel district

I just checked (doing free search without being logged in) and putting in Margaret Newell with year of death 1924 (and no other details) brings up 1 result and then you are given the option of signing in or purchasing the certificate.
