Shelagh I should manage to call at Deansgrange during the week ahead. I have noted his date of death from your first note to the List - I need that in order to ask if buried at Deansgrange. In the meantime keep your fingers crossed!! Joyce Joyce. That would be great - thank you. I had looked at Glasnevin but couldn't find anything. He was a Catholic and the story I have is that he went back to Ireland and worked as a Gardener for a convent in Dublin. I found a Patrick's death that fitted his age and received the cert today. It gives his occupation as Gardener and he was Gate Lodge Srs. Charity Donnybrook. He was born in Ferns Wexford 1874 went to Dublin and then joined the Welsh Constabulary in 1896(one of 5 brothers doing so)married in 1908 retired from the Police in October 1922 then as my first line. I've found all the other 4 deaths - 1 in Dublin Edward in 1954 and in Glasnevin Cemetery so would like to find Patrick. Thanks again. Shelagh.
