Yes, I suppose that's true. My Grandmother brought the youngest children to Belfast. I know they attended the parish of Kilashandra and wondered if there were records relating to Ellen's death around 1922-1924 or thereabouts. Then we might be able to locate the cemetary she is buried in and go visit. Woukd you know would I obtain this information? Many thanks

Unfortunately Irish death certificates don't list place of burial and most Catholic churches don't keep burial records.

There may or may not have been a notice of her death put in the local paper but if there was itt may not give funeral details.

Thanks for the information. Would you happen to know the name of the closest cemetary to Killeshandra?also know how I would find a marriage certificate? I think they were married around 1903? Many thanks.

I couldn't find their marriage previously which is why I asked if you had it  :-\
Maybe you'll have better luck- usually best to start with few details then use options on left side of search results to narrow down possibilities-

Just remember that many families didn't have the extra money to erect a headstone and in this particular case husband wasn't there to do so.

Yes I don't suppose they would have had the money as their Dad disappeared. I'm not too good at this lol. How would I go about finding a birth registration for Co Monaghan? Don't know any other information other than Ellen was born around 1881 in Co Monaghan. Her Mum was Margaret Collins formerly Delaney. Don't know who her father was. Many thanks

Might be a co-incidence but a James Collins & Margaret Delany had a son born 1879 Dublin-

The nearest cemetery to Killeshandra would be Killeshandra.
