Cant find where my grandmother is buried
« on: Sunday 15 December 19 23:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I found out that my grandmother died july 1950
 I researched her family  tree and found out  that her father was john Costello and he was 48 when he married Elizabeth  Cunningham  who was 31

they married  on the 13th of October  1918
and they had Christina  Costello and she was born 1 of January 1921
   all I know  is that my father  said  she died when he was only 10 he said she died  giving  birth to my uncle  Christopher .

Please  if anyone  can help me it was my fathers life long dream to find out where she was buried  sadly he never  got to do
 so I'm going  to try  if any one can help me I would  really  appreciate  it
Kathleen

Usually you need the death certificate from the Registrar's office and the registrar should be able to tell from the certificate when the person was buried.  As the family is Catholic I assume family members would be buried in the church's graveyard.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the County Clare website, because it more or less lists every family including Costellos and Cunninghams from 1901 census and by clicking on the family name links it takes you back to the townships in each Parish back to early 1800s

Which reminds me, the County Clare group on facebook is really good also. Someone there will know, if you can't figure out any other way. And probably know the family.

Have you received the birth cert for Christopher yet?
Where was the family living at the time he was born?

This is the original posting, for background:

as death is not exact same name as she used in some records

The 1950 death in previous thread might be worth considering and there is a burial record in Glasnevin for that person.
This information was given in the earlier thread.

I wonder why there is a new thread here, Kathleen?

If that is Christopher’s birth, he was born in Dublin.

Kathleen you need to buy some of the certs, you can't know anything of just index entries. If Christopher was born in hospital and his mother died during the birth that she should have a death cert, so first you need to check if that is the correct Christopher.
