In any case, as they were deceased after 1864, there should be a civil record. You will just have to search by the indexes looking for likely candidates and then start pulling records, or, since you are in New Zealand, getting someone to pull them for you. Once you find the date and location, then you can look for obituaries in newspapers for that locality. http://www.nationalarchives.ie/birthsmarrdeaths.html Irish Births, Marriages, and Deaths since 1864 http://www.familysearch.com/Eng/search/rg/guide/ all_t3_resmeth_-_how_do_i_begin.asp [cut and paste to one url] How to use LDS Family History Centers http://www.genfindit.com Online Irish Vital Records Ordering Service http://www.geocities.com/stassam.geo/dublin.html Lookup Service for Records in Dublin http://homepage.eircom.net/~seanjmurphy/gro/ Guide to the General Register Office http://www.groireland.ie/ General Register Office (Republic of Ireland) Births, Marriages and Deaths for 32 counties 1864-1922 Republic of Ireland only 1922-present http://www.nisra.gov.uk General Register Office (Northern Ireland) Births and Deaths for 6 counties of NI since 1864 Marriages for Northern Ireland since 1922 These, and other useful links, can be reached from the TIARA web site. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Dennis Ahern | The Irish Ancestral Research Association Acton, Massachusetts | Dept.
