Joseph Fallon born 1884
« on: Thursday 23 February 17 10:50 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out what happened to Joseph Fallon born 1884 in the Roscommon area. His parents were Malachy Fallon and Elizabeth Campbell who married on 17/2/1881 @ Strokestown. Malachy was from Killinvoy and in 1901 and 1911 the family were resident in that area. Joseph was an only child. A Joseph Fallon married in Roscommon in April 1915 but this is not the Joseph I am seeking. Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards

LINK to 1901 census return

LINK to 1911 census return

Malachy FALLON died Oct 10 1921 LINK
His son Joe FALLON of Culleen, Knockcroghery was the informant

Elizabeth FALLON died Jan 15 1925 LINK
Her son Joe FALLON of Culleen was the informant

This places Joseph alive and in Co. Roscommon in 1925

There is a death in 1931 in the District Hospital Athlone of a bachelor named Joseph FALLON
He is shown as 44 which is slightly out but close and his address was Roscommon RD (Rural District)
Not enough to be sure but a possibility

Thank you for your replies. The death looks promising. I will get the cert when I visit Ireland later this year.

Thank you aghadowey for the link. Semms highly likely it is my man but I will visit Roscommon library and check their newspapers for an obituary. I have been there several times with positive results.

Thank you dathai for the information and links. It is probably the same person but he is 50 on the estates record and from Westmeath but 44 and from Roscommon RD (which I presume is Rural District) on the death record. Most confusing

Unfortunately the death records did not hold very much information and when someone died in hospital or away from home the information becomes more scant. Sometimes you are lucky if the person is described as "wife of ..." or a specific address to help.

dathai's suggestion is based on the date of death being the same (Feb 26 1931)
Athlone is on a river and half is in Roscommon and half in Westmeath

The address anomaly is confusing
