Death Records for MCAULIFFE, Daniel and Mary

[zorbo77]

Dear Genealogy Friends,

I am searching for a burial record or a death certificate for my great-great-great-grandparents Daniel McAuliffe, born ca. 1794 in Killarney and his wife, Mary, née O'Donoghue.  My goal is to find where they are buried so that I can visit them one day. 

By way of background, Daniel enlisted in the British Army at Clonmel, Tipperary in 1816 at the age of 22 and served with the 37th Regiment of Foot for 26 years of which seven were spent in Canada.

I have reason to believe that, in the latter part of the couple's life, they went back to Daniel's home town because their son (the only child of theirs that I know of) was married in Dublin in 1862 and the RC parish record lists the parents' residence as Killarney, Co. Kerry.

So far, I have not found much information about them...so any help would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Owen

If Daniel and Mary died after 1864 they should appear in the civil BMD Index, and have a death cert. You didn't mention the timeframe, but a search of possible deaths for Daniel between 1864 and 1880, shows a few matches, although none in Killarney district, or that seem to be the correct age.

See : Daniel Mc Auliffe death - 1864-1880
You can use these results as a starting point, fine tune the dates, location/district, and particularly the spelling of the surname..

Very few RC parishes kept death/burial records especially this early on, but there are a few transcripts of headstones, which may be published online - although not everyone had a headstone, and not all survived.

Kerry Local Authority have a website with a map of the graveyards in their area which can be very useful. The website also has many burial records, although these tend to be for much later dates.

Thanks for your response, Shane.  Unfortunately, I don't have any idea when they died: all I know is that they were present at my great-great-grandparents' wedding in 1862 so it's possible they made it to 1864 when civil records began for Catholics.

I have done the search you recommended on the LDS website and I've also had a look at the Kerry burials site but no such luck.  Maybe something will turn up either with the tombstones or something else.  I won't give up

Thanks again,
Owen

Hi Owen

Where did you get the marriage records from ?

It can sometimes be confusing with records !

Sometimes parents can be listed on the records but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were still alive (sometimes the clerk forgets to write deceased against them)

Also the clerk may have written down where Daniel actually CAME from as opposed to where they were actually living at the time.

Do you have the family on any census ?

I was guessing that the marriage was on IrishGenealogy, but couldn't see one that fits...

Just to clarify a statement made earlier-

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea when they died: all I know is that they were present at my great-great-grandparents' wedding in 1862 so it's possible they made it to 1864 when civil records began for Catholics.

Civil registration of births and deaths (regardless of religion) began in 1864.
Registration of Catholic marriages started in 1864, from 1845 for non-Catholic marriages.

....

....

and another clarification I should have mentioned earlier.... unless they were witnesses to the marriage, there's no guarantee they were present at the wedding...

This is their son John I presume (birthplace mistranscribed as Queen's - should say Quebec)

Here are more children born to John & Anne

Also possible marriage for Thomas Daly and Susan Walsh

and possible Anne baptism

I don't know whether this is a total coincidence or not
