While the typical death notice in a 19th century Irish newspaper is often little more than a name and place of burial, there can often be found other snippets of information, such as age, address or townland, occupation, cause of death. For a look at typical death notices from 1757-1899, see http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahobits1.htm Also, be advised that the listings in the Irish Death Notice Database are not limited to obituaries, but include mentions of death by accident, suicide, homicide, and execution. Deaths which necessitate a hearing by a coroner's jury can be qute detailed as to who the perosn was and how they came by their demise. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Irish Death Notice Database ahern@world.std.com | http://www.irelandoldnews.com/obits/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
