I found this death notice in a Melbourne paper - supposedly put there by Martha's son Patrick HUGHES [Professor] who was a resident in Melbourne at the time - my ancestors. DEATH: HUGHES: At Dublin in her seventy fifth year of her age, the beloved mother of Professor Hughes, and widow of the late P H Hughes Esq. formerly of Corfu, Santa Maria and Zante. R149 Illustrated Australian News, April 20th 1874 p 71 DEATH NOTICE: none found in the Irish Times 1 Jun 1873-20 Apr 1874 BURIAL: Not Deans Grange LDS Film # 906129 1865-1889. Letter 24 Aug 1993 stating no death found. Not Mt Jerome LDS Film # 0911810 1837-1876 no burial found. Not Glasnevin Cemetery - also checked by phone by Dean's Grange to Glasnevin Cemetery, no burial found. DEATH: A general search was made of the death of Martha HUGHES in ? Dublin in the index of the Superintendent Registrar's Office 1873-1874 with a nil result. It would appear that the death is not registered. PROBATE: searched LDS Film 251241 Calendar of Grants of Probate & Letters of Administration in Britain Vol 4-6 D-H 1874. I have checked iriahgenealogy.ie and IFHF to no avail. I am unsure of her religion. I am hoping someone can help me or suggest the next move. Cheers from Valerie in sunny Sydney

Valerie, You may well have already considered this possibility, a death notice for this woman says she died in Dublin, but she may have been returned to Corfu for burial or one of the other places mentioned, nothing stated here says she was buried in Dublin. Have you considered this as a possibility. Cara
