Graveyards Dundalk

[elaine gray]

Hi, as I'm coming over to area soon ,I'd love to know if there's burial records in Dundalk area. I'm looking for Arthur Hughes died Dundalk 1867. His wife Bridget Roddy died bit later,.maybe 1871.
He would have been about 80 years old.
I have no problem going somewhere to look up records myself. Just don't think I'd have the time to search all the graveyards!
Thanks
Elaine

The Bridget Hughes who died in 1873 was married ("wife of a stone mason")-

There are several other Bridget Hughes deaths in Dundalk area which you can check out since you likely have an occupation and location for Arthur's death.

IF there is a gravestone you might be able to find where they were buried but in general it was only the Church of Ireland that kept burial registers.

Hi, thanks for your interesting reply. 
Arthur Hughes was a stonemason. On his death cert it stated labourer but on Scottish records he was either labourer or stonemason and def same man. So, I'm wondering if Bridget was his dgt in law and one of Arthur sons was also stonemason.
I'll look into that. I note you saying church of Ireland kept records. I may have to accept I'll not find graves but be happy knowing where they came from.
Thanks

The Arthur Hughes death in 1867 in Dundalk registration district gives his age as 80 (born c1787) and the Bridget Hughes who died in 1873 was born c1806. You could try searching for Bridget's husband's death after 1873 keeping the 1873 residence in mind.

You still haven't said what religion the Hughes family would have been. Where they Church of Ireland? if not you'll need to explore other possibilities.

Oh hang sorry,  he was Roman Catholic.
I've spent a wee bit of time looking at Bridget, trying to work out who her husband was.
No luck so far. I'll do what you've suggested and see how I get on..thanks

Try searching for deaths for Hughes after 1873 in Louth R.D. then looking at the male deaths around the same age as Bridget or a bit older (but not too old when you keep Arthur's age in mind). The husband's occupation should hopefully help.
