Sorry worded subject wrong Death lookup as I know when and where he died I am  trying to find out where he was buried. sorry

Unless the family claimed the body, it was probably buried in a communal grave on the workhouse site. There may not be any records of exactly where.

In 1912 Workhouse deaths most likely to be in Coleraine Cemetery if family didn't claim his body. You can ring and ask them to check for him in their records but if a pauper's grave there will be no headstone-
