James Conway
« on: Tuesday 27 February 24 17:51 GMT (UK) »
I was reading about 106 year old James Conway on RTE's Brainstorm

https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2024/0226/1434430-james-conway-1889-skeleton-human-remains-trinity-college-dublin-research-ethics/

so I looked up his death cert and at first couldn't find it because he is transcribed as Conroy
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01t11/

I sent a correction but than thought will they agree? The writing is terrible, so just in case if a few other people also sent in a correction it might help at least give James his name if not a final resting place.

Well done, Sinann  :)

My change has been submitted to the General Register Office.
Conroy to Conway

Was he really 106?
The RTE article is too gruesome for me!

Thanks Kiltaglassan.

It's an interesting article, you have to wonder how many of the burial places people search for could be in the pauper section of Glasnevin because the remains of their ancestor were used for medical research/teaching.
