I recently wrote about my "Edward Hayden" who immigrated to NY in the 1870's.... This week I thought I ask about Catholic cemeteries in Dublin.... I hope this might help me to obtain additional information about the Hayden family. Edward Hayden apparently had a sister Mary Hayden who died in 1882 in Dublin. I learned about her illness and death from a series of letters his father and a young boy Neddy wrote to Edward. It appear that Neddy was Edward and Mary's nephew, but I don't know who his parents were; this letter does make mention of his father being ill but recovering. These are two of the letters. In this letter Edward Hayden of Dublin/NY is also referred to as "Neddy" and "Ned": ........................................................ Rear of Belvidere Strand Road Sandymount County Dublin April 4th 1882 My Dear Neddy - I write to you these few lines and the last as I wrote to you in Mary ilness and no answer and so I write to you after her death. My poor aunt died of consumtion after 6 months ilness. My father lay for 4 (?) weeks in bed but now thank God is better. There was no one to ease her but me and my father. Brigit in Burkes and Uncle James and and Aunt Mary was very kind and here we are no one but ourselves two. My father thinkes you very ungrateful for no answering the letter and we got a letter from Bessie wondering what was the matter and she rote yo you a couple of times and got no answer and this is the last letter I will write you and I think you very ungrateful. Excuse my riteing. Neddy Hayden Best respect to all. .................................. Rear of Belvedere Cottages Sandymount Strand Co Dublin April 10th My dear Ned - I wrote you about two months since telling you your poor sister Mary was dying & because I asked you to send me a little help in it you never thought it worth while answering it - how could you be so ungrateful to me who did everything in my power to gratify & forward you while you were with me. However I am just writing you this last letter to tell you of poor Mary's death. She was a long time sick & suffered a great deal & was wron to a skeleton before she died. As poor little Ned has written you the full account of her death I am just fulfilling my duty to let you know your sister is dead. Joined by Ned in love I remain your affectionate Father Edward Hayden
