My research shows this cemetery is also known as St. Patrick's. It is located on Douglas Ave. Can someone provide the telephone # for this cemetery? I have been unable to locate it on the net. I tried 2 different #'s for diocese cemetery & never rec'd a call back. Apparently St. Patrick's church is now an hispanic church. There is a possibility my g/grandfather is buried there around 1902 & I would like to check it out. Many thanks, Jeannine N. C.
Hello , What info did you find out about your grand fathers Burial ? Bill Keough
Hi Bill - This week I read an LDS film of funeral records of W.H. & D.F. O'Neil funeral home, Pawtucket, RI for 1894-1897, 1902. However, in looking at the film 1902 was not there. It was stated it was in another book, but LDS did not film another book. The film said it had been filmed 1991 at Irish Genealogical Soc. and the book was a gift of "Ed McDermott". In looking at the deaths out of Little Sisters of the Poor for 94-97 I found that Little Sisters were sending their burials to "Old Catholic Cemetery". Providence. Now those inmates that had family, I am sure were sending them where their plots were or anyplace the family wished. A google search shows that Old Catholic Cemetery was also known as St. Patrick's in Providence. I have been unable to get a phone # for this cemetery & my call to St. Patrick's Church rec'd no call back. I also called 2 numbers for catholic diocese cemeteries & rec'd no call back. At this point, I have little faith in receiving any help from the diocese, after earlier promises. I found Mr. Ed McDermott's phone # on the net & called in Prov. His wife tells me he is in a nursing home with alzheimers. She says the Irish Genealogical Soc. was a very loose organ. & she knows nothing about another funeral home book???? That is the up to the date info. Any suggestions?
