Grave of Prof. Paul Muratoff
« on: Monday 18 February 19 11:06 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the grave of Prof. Paul P. Muratoff (possible spelling Muratov or Muradoff). He died on 5th October 1950.
According to the death certificate he died at Whitechurch House, Cappagh, Co.Waterford. I suppose he was buried nearby. He was an authority on Byzantine and Italian art, and the author of a number of works on the history of art.
What cemetery it could be? And could you please recommend me a historical society at that area?
I'm a researcher in subject of White Russian emigres (first wave of Russian immigration after the Russian Revolution of 1917) in Ireland. I'll be happy to know about other Russian graves in Ireland.

1944-46 Bill Allen published his first full length work of military history in collaboration with Prof Paul Muratoff.

Not necessarily he could be buried Locally, in Dublin or even outside Ireland!

I've found the grave! This is it: https://historicgraves.com/st-james/wa-blml-0070/grave

Sinann, thank you very-very much for the help.
dathai, as I know Muratoff spent in Ireland around 3 years and he was a big friend with Allen. Thanks to them both we have the collection of Orthodox icons in the National Gallery of Ireland.
