Hello Kim, theggg.org has the NYC death index. It shows that John J. Nolan, 43, died in Brooklyn on Aug. 23, 1889. I hope this is helpful.

Here is what I know. John Joseph Nolan was born in 1846 in Kilkenny, Ireland. We have his aptismal papers. He married Catherine in NYC. We also have the marriage record. He had 4 children all born in Brooklyn. The last one who born in either Dec 890 or Jan 1891. In 1883, they lived at 253 Bergen St, near the Navy yard. Oldest child's irth record. I have the 1892 (Feb 16th) NY census where Catherine is listed with all 4 hildren and no husband living in Brooklyn. Catherine died in 1931 and is at Evergreen Cemetery. I have gone to the Municipal Archives and looked up each John Nolan who died etween Jan 1890 and February 1892 who was from age 35-55. John was in his id forties when he died. I have scoured the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. John was a travelling salesman who rove to CT to sell Singer sewing machines. He had a very bad accident nvolving his horse. We don't know if he died out of state or was brought ack to NY to die. They were extremely poor, but I would imagine they would ave wanted his body back if he died. The family was aware of what happened o him. I would think this would have made the news? Nothing in the NY imes either. Would they have buried him where he died? The CT state indexes start at 1897 for the entire state. I would have to now a town in order to start searching the time frame we are looking at. nfortunately, this just may be a dead end. This is why I thought the hurch burial records might be helpful. Any thoughts? Thanks, Kim Researching NOLAN ------------------------------
