    1. Re: [IRL-CORK-CITY] Newbie needs help
    2. Hi, http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/guide/lds-bdm.html is a list of film numbers for the yearly indexes to civil registration of births marriages and deaths in Ireland, these are LDS films and can be viewed at any Family History Center, if they don't have them on the shelves you'll have to rent them. If you have not already searched for your ancestors death in these indexes it might be worth a try. If she died after 1921 there is another series of films that go up to 1954. Each entry in the deaths indexes give persons name, age at death, registration district, this would be Cork in your case, also vol. and page number for the complete entry. There is advice on the page re ordering a photocopy of the entry from the civil registers. Dublin GRO does NOT accept payment anymore for overseas orders except by credit card, as I very recently found out. Using the civil reg indexes means that you don't have to know what parish or part of Cork she died in. The complete entry will give place of death, although if she died in an accident this could be a hospital. It also gives the informants name, this could be a relative. If she died in her own home, using the address you should be able to work out which parish in Cork city she lived in. For the most part catholic parish registers did not include entries for deaths. There is plenty of advice on all of this at the home page for the above web page, if you are not to familar with Irish research it makes interesting reading. Hope this is of some help.
