Hello Sharon, Thank you for replying to me, I will give you the newspaper article On Saturday , after a tedious and protracted illness, which he bore with Christian resignation to the Divine will, Mr Thomas Byrne aged 33years, (late of Cratloe and Caherelly), son of Mr John Byrne, of 35 Upper Cecil Street. The early demise of a fond and affectionate son, an attached parent, and compassionate friend, is much regretted by all who knew him. These Byrnes mere of the Merchant class, I can take them back a couple more generations in Limerick. Thomas married an Eliza Bennett the daughter of Thomas F Bennett a gentleman from Rathanny. They married in both the C of E & RC churches by licence. The Byrne family did not realise that they did marry as the marriage was not accepted by the Bennett family, Thomas Bennett must have softened his ways as he looked after their eldest son Thomas with land. But the main Bennett lands were entailed to the Bennett family who are now RC. What illness might he have had?

Interesting, I wonder if it was because of the protracted illness, that would tie into what we already know about burials of infectious persons. As a side note, I did a blog on 22 Cecil Street Upper only a few weeks back, http://limerickslife.com/2012/100-years-of-22-cecil-street-upper/ it could easily have been 35 Cecil Street Upper, as I just picked the number at random, it is a pity it wasn't as it would have helped with your research.
