Great job on the cemetery hunting, Gerry! 

I'm hoping someone can figure this out:
The indexes for workhouse records are online at PRONI, and many sites are saying that if you find your person, you can (hopefully) find that individual's records.

This link explains the how-to:
https://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2022/01/proni-releases-index-to-belfasts-poor.html
...and it says With the date of admission, register number, name and age of an individual, you should be able to locate the corresponding original records held by PRONI


I followed their instructions for James McCabe, as he died in the workhouse, and did find his information, but what now?  I can't see where in PRONI you enter this??  Help!!

Admission date, 24 Aug 1902 (year looks like "12" on the image, it is definitely an "02"), Register number 52, James McCabe, age 44.  (second from bottom on attached image)

I am hoping there is some mention of who the body was released to, or a cemetery destination.

False alarm- all I got was back to the index and I think that's the problem- only the index is online but you need to look up the record in PRONI?
"With the date of admission, register number, name and age of an individual, you should be able to locate the corresponding original records held by PRONI."

... The other bit of information we got was Alice had 2 sisters one was married to a Duffy and lived in Rockville Street where she died and another called Maggie who lived in Iveagh Street and wasn’t married.


The first sister you mention was identified at reply #8. See also reply #13.
