Burial with no death certificate

[sage]

Oh gosh...it really shouldn't be this hard. I hope you crack it eventually.  It's a very enthralling mystery.  Good luck.

I agree, you'd think knowing the exact date of death and a good idea of the place would make it relatively easy wouldn't you!

I know, I know.  It's all so very frustrating.

His son was married in Glasgow (Milton District) in 1894, so I can place his son in Glasgow at that date.  Again, not sure if he and wife were separated.

My apologies cd,

I must have forgot to press the "do the search button" or something?....

However, this is the list of deaths for a John Connelly with "Traditional soundex option" 1898 in the whole of Scotland

Where did you get the exact death date from,is it possible that someone copied/misread it wrongly?

Have you tried O'Donnell (y) as well as Donnelly. Maybe his first name isn't John,but that's his 2nd.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your assistance -
First off here are the ones I have bought & checked:
1898 Connell, John age 62 Milton
1898 Connelly, John age 45 Anderston
1898 Donnelly, John age 49 Johnstone & Erderslie, Renfrew
1898 Donnelly, John age 58 Dennistoun
1898 Donnelly, John age 50 Govan
1899 Donnelly, John age 55 Bridgeton
1897 Donnelly, John age 50 Calton

On son's marriage certificate he is named and not listed as deceased.

I have the exact date from the Letter of Admin on his estate.  Up until 2 weeks ago I had only seen a transcribed version.  Many Irish wills were destroyed by fire in 1922.  I was told mine would not have survived. However, I was recently at the PRONI offices and it was suggested that I did try and see if the LoA had survivied...lo and behold they did.  So I have held the original document that gives these details - date and place of death.

Have not tried O'Donnell .  Yes, I had also wondered if his first name was not John.  But I have never, never seen it recorded otherwise

There is only 1 entry 1898 for a John (Surname beginning) O'Don in Glasgow City
