Looking for Monaghan burial records for 1947. Any advice as to where to look?

Hermy

I haven't done much of any research in that neck of the woods.

Is it burial records specifically rather than headstones or death notices?

I take it you've exhausted the usual sites - IGP, Find A Grave etc?

Not much online.

Very helpful in Monagan Library if you ask about sources.

If it's Monaghan town, the office in the Catholic Cathedral has records of the local largest cemetery - Laturcan Cemetery.

I don't have a whole lot to work off as it's a request from a relative of mine, but they're just looking to confirm where his grandmother is buried. She wasn't buried with her husband as she was Church of Ireland and he was Presbyterian.

Whereabouts in Co. Monaghan did they live?

Also, is he buried in Monaghan, and, if so, what cemetery?

Hermy

If you want to post details or message me the the name and date of death of the deceased I can check death notices for you.

Sorry, I didn't see any notification for this reply (or Hermy's). Lived in Swans Cross. Trying to find out where he's buried.

Thanks, Hermy. Mary Sloan (nee Hall), died 20/04/1947.

There's a death notice in the Irish Independent of April 22nd which says 'Funeral today (Tuesday) to family burial ground' and another in the Northern Standard on April 25th that doesn't give a place of burial.

Hermy

Does that help the burial ground?

mindhorn

Not sure it does - don't know where is meant by the family burial ground.

Hermy

Is there anyone else in her family whose death notice I could check that might mention the place by name?

mindhorn

I've asked for other names in the family so waiting to hear back.

Hermy

This discussion had gone beyond the scope of the Online burial registers thread so I've moved it to it's own thread.

If you contact the moderator of this page with the details you have, they will put the question up on the page. There is a very good local historian (helped me out anyway) there who may be able to help.

Both names, Sloan and Hall would be well known in the area. Sloan's owned the only shop in Swann's Cross and Hall's had shops in Killeevan and Clones.

Hope this might be of interest:

Or I would recommend contacting the RCB Library to find a local Church of Ireland Rector who might be able to point you in the right direction.

The births of their first two children (Elizabeth 1916 and Joseph 1919) were in a place called Drumlinney with the next Ena (1921) in what looks like Liscreney. (?)
