locate Grave Info centrally??
« on: Monday 24 April 23 17:42 BST (UK) »
Is there a paid for or free website where I can locate Grave Info centrally , or is it just by going to each Parish to look and see whats listed, I am Visiting Ireland in June and was looking to pay my respects to my Mums family who have passed , one in Particular was my Great Grandfather   Alexander Jamieson “Sandy” Tomlinson (23 Aug.1896 Mullahinch-24 Apr.1951), who passed 72 years ago today

Thanks for all  for your help previously on my searches

Possibly buried Moneydig Presbyterian Church without a headstone. He married there in 1923 to Mary Wilson Hogg. Will try to check my Moneydig records tomorrow.

Another newspaper resource is Irish newspapers on Find My Past (pay site).

Mid-Ulster Mail, 12 May 1951: ... fans" regret the passing of a staunch supporter of the boys from the third tree" town in the person of the late Mr. Alexander Tomlinson, Main St., Garvagh. "Sandy" was a lover of the game: never missed a match home or away, and always the best or a sportsman ...

Be sure to check for surname variations such as Tumilson, etc.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
