Ireland, locating a death, burial, cremation
« on: Friday 21 December 18 10:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi, hoping someone can help in locating a death. Name is Samuel Vance who died in Dromore Parish, Down, Ireland and the date was between 1881-1885
His wife was Agnes Martin and they married on 7th Jan 1850 at the Cathedral Church, Dromore.
They had 3 children, Agnes, Samuel and Robert.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be grateful.
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas  :)

There won't be a cremation at that period but if he died 1881-1885 it should be online- only likely one I can find is a warper in Banbridge with wife Sarah- the other 3 who died in 1880s are far too young-

His widow Sarah died in 1885-

A widow Agnes Vance died 1912 Dromore, Co. Down & informant was an Agnes Burns-

Same woman in 1901 Census-

In 1911 daughter Agnes Burns is with her-

Agnes' marriage in 1896 to William Burns gives her father as Samuel Vance-

Could this be Samuel's widow and daughter?
