Robert Richard TOPHAM, WW1, 1919
« on: Monday 26 April 21 13:00 BST (UK) »
ROBERT RICHARD TOPHAM died in Bannington's Hospital, Limerick on 2 July 1919 as a result of war service. He was the son of Robert William (died 1904) and Minnie Topham and had seven sisters. He was apparently born at Clarisford but in 1911 the family were living at Abbey Street, Killaloe. The family were Church of Ireland.

Does anyone know where Robert Richard Topham is buried?

He is mentioned here (page 95). It is suggested he is mentioned in records of Killaloe cathedral and may be buried "thereabouts".
Not that much help unfortunately as to burial place.

I've tried all sorts of CWGC searches with no joy. I wonder if an approach to them might be fruitful? They might have the ability to get to hospital and other records that the general public can't access.
