I regret but I do not know -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barbara Bouchey Sent: 15 May 2009 17:48 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: where do I go from here? Jack Crowley - you mention here the Creagh Cemetry. I supposedly have ancestors buried in the old RC section of this cemetery. Is there any place where these cemetery records are kept?

There should be useful information available about a man who died in 1922. Get his civil Death Certificate Then ask the church what records they have. Check the Cork (Examiner and Constitution) and Skibbereen (Skibbereen Eagle and Southern Star) newspapers for death notices and obituaries. I am not aware of any separate Presbyterian graveyard in West Cork. There is an agreement in Cork City that Presbyterians may be buried in the graveyard of St Luke's, C of I, Douglas. It is worth remembering that the C of I was the Established Church up to 1870. This meant it was officially the church for the whole community. That is often why people other than members of the C of I are buried in C of I graveyards. It is as though it were a public or civil facility. Creagh is an old ruined church between Skibbereen and Baltimore. It is accessed through a field. The famous and learned Canon James Goodman was a Curate there and is buried there. It may be that Mr Russell had a grave plot in Creagh belonging to his family or perhaps to his wife's family. Someone should visit Creagh and see if there is a headstone with information. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of virginia bell Sent: 15 May 2009 02:14 To: Cork at rootsweb Subject: where do I go from here? I am really stymied on this one. I know that William Alexander Russell died 1 Mar. 1922 at Skibbereen. He was Presbyterian but the funeral was at the Abbeystrewry Church which I understand is Anglican. Burial was at Creagh. I was about to send for his death registration but now am aware that the document will not include the names of his parents. It's the parents I am searching for. He was born about 1857/8 before civil registration was required and although I know he was born in Co. Cork, I don't know where. Will the church have a record of his parents? Any suggestions where to look now? Help please!
