This was bounced for unknown reasons so I am resending it to the list. admin -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: FW: [IRL-CLARE] Need Help with Burial Information Judie, I asked Paddy Waldron who is a member of Clare Roots Society and familiar with the East Clare area to comment on your request. In addition he has recommended forwarding your queries to Michael Mc Namara in East Clare which I have done. Regards, Larry. Hi Larry I eventually found Rea Mason (mistranscribed thus) in 1911 with his widowed sister at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Limerick_No__3_Urb an/Denmark_Street_Lower/628508/ She was at the same address in 1901: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Limerick_No__3_Urb an_District/Denmark_St__Lower/1499326/ and I think I found him in 1901 at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Limerick_Urban_No_ _2/King_s_Island/1498400/ Bridget was widowed but still called Mason in both censuses, so presumably married someone with the same surname as herself. A labourer who died in the workhouse is unlikely to have a tombstone, or at least unlikely to have an inscription. As a single male he is likely to have been buried on Bridget's instructions either with their parents or with Bridget's husband, but he is unlikely to have had his name added to the relevant inscription, if there was one. Not surprisingly, he doesn't seem to have an obituary or funeral report in the Limerick Chronicle at http://www.limerickcity.ie/Library/LocalStudies/Obituariesdeathnoticesetcfro mTheLimerickChronicle/ The Limerick Leader 1905-2004 is now at irishnewsarchive.com and should be checked for the relevant week, just in case it has a death notice for funeral report. Mount St. Lawrence is the only graveyard with registers that he's likely to have been buried in, and he definitely isn't recorded there in the month given for his death. As he was from Denmark Street, there may have been a funeral mass in St. Michael's, but I doubt they were keeping death registers back then. There are lots of other graveyards in and around the city where he might be buried - Killeely, King's Island, Kilmurry, etc. \pw On 2013-01-02 23:26, Larry Brennan wrote: > Can you throw any light on attached. > > Larry. > >

Oh my goodness, this email got buried in an incorrect folder and I just found it! I had had surgery and must have still been under anesthesia when I filed it :) In any event, thank you to Christina, Larry and Paddy and please accept my apology for this late response. I certainly appreciate you assistance with my query. I will now try to get in touch with Michael McNamara.
