Death of Matilda Donaghy, Moneymore, Co. Derry, Ireland

[Peggy13]

Matilda was born Mar 6, 1874, as Matilda Lennox, daughter to James Lennox and Matilda Mears. She married David Donaghy Nov 13, 1901 in St. John' COI in Moneymore. Matilda was still alive in 1935 when her brother Thomas was recorded doing a border crossing from San Francisco, USA to Vancouver, BC, Canada and named his sister Matilda Donaghy of Moneymore. I have not been able to find Matilda's death or that of her husband David.
I would dearly love some help.
Thank you
Peggy

Where have you searched for her death?
Irish Genealogy has deaths up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
After 1921 GRONI-

I have searched Irishgenealogy and then Groni, up to 1970, as that is 50 years ago. Perhaps she emigrated late in life, I suppose. Her brother Thomas and her sister Barbara both died in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her sister Margaret died in Pennsylvania and her brother Theodoris died in Scotland. One online tree states that she died in Los Angeles in 1947 but that was a different Matilda (I ordered the obit).
So still looking.

If she was a widow perhaps she re-married?

[Peggy13]

I checked on Groni for marriages of either Matilda Donaghy or Matilda Lennox, from 1935-1969. No luck.

I checked on Groni for marriages of either Matilda Donaghy or Matilda Lennox, from 1935-1969. No luck.

Only marriages over 75 years old are available online via GRONI, so nothing will come back for the period from around a fortnight 75 years ago (ie. early August 1945) to 1969.

... I have not been able to find Matilda's death or that of her husband David ...

Possibility below in the Mid Ulster Mail of 21 April 1945, the GRONI index shows it registered Magherafelt with a reported age of 64:

DONAGHY - April 11, 1945, at his son-in-law's residence, Megargy, David, dearly loved husband of Matilda Donaghy, Ballindrum. Interred in St. John's Churchyard, Moneymore.

The death in 1945 puts Matilda alive and living in Ireland at least until 1945.

I think you have found David's death! Age is about right, place is absolutely correct. I was in Ireland last year and just happened to take a photo of the gravestone of Matilda's parents although I didn't know it at the time. It was at St. John's COI graveyard in Moneymore. The only daughter that I have that was born before 1911 was Maggie and I don't have her marriage. I will look for children after 1911.  I have already looked for Maggie's marriage but it was not on irishgenealogy.ie. The obit doesn't say son-in-law's name. Thank you so much, Gaffy.
