"JP & MC Mizzi" <mmizzi@dodo.com.au> asked: >I found a tombstone of REDMOND FITZGERALD 1773 in the Mallow list He was >buried in St. James Cemetery. Can you please tell me where I can find his >death certificate? I have enquired at a few places without replies. Ireland did not begin civil registrations of death until 1864. The only evidence you will find of an 18th century death would be a tombstone, a church burial record, or a death notice in a newspaper. The tombstone of Redmond Fitzgerald who died in 1773 is transcribed on page 149 of Mallow Field Club Journal No. 8, 1990, which may be out of print by now. The Mallow Heritage Centre also has copies of this transcription.
