Irish Law Times

[cosmac]

Google Books have the above series of journals online.  For 1868 I found a reference to Thomas Cosgrove of Grennan, Tyrone, previously of Knockaravin and formerly of Drumardnagrosss as insolvent with petition filed 09 Dec 1868.  The hearing was scheduled for 05 Jan 1869 in Omagh and the journal for 1869 shows it was discharged.  This is the last reference I can find for this relative.  His wife, Dorothy, dies in 1890 (Garvagh) registered at Omagh with a nephew as the informant.  Thomas died sometime between 1869 and 1890 and since he also used the surname variant McCusker I have a few choices around the this area and find it difficult to narrow it down.  He was, according to his stated age at marriage, born around 1822.

The Irish Law Times has sections of BMDs.  Don't know if this is worthwhile browsing all the journals.  Does anyone know how you qualified to get your death noted in this journal?

Have you thoroughly checked the online civil registration index to see if there are any possible deaths to investigate?

What about the Valuation Revision Books on PRONI's site- you could search under the townland to see if anything is noted.

Revised Valuation books on PRONI showed Thomas McCusker in Drumardnagross associated with 3 plots of land in 1860 and
and by 1867 he has been crossed out of the books.
