Burial Places.....

Post by Ina » Tue Jan 10, 2006 3:28 am

I just downloaded a death record from SP and was surprised to find a column with the heading "Buriel places, Undertaker or other person by whom certified".

This record told me that she was buried at Kilarrow Churchyard and certified by Intermant.

This was a 1859 death. Did they list the burial places on any other years?

Hello Ina

From the SP website....

"1855 death records show the date, time and place of death, deceased's name, sex, marital status, age and occupation, cause of death, duration of last illness, doctor's name and details of the informant. In addition, they show the usual residence, the deceased's place of birth, spouse's name, parents' names, occupations and whether they were deceased, names and ages of children or age and year of death if the child pre-deceased the parent. Up to 1860, the place of burial, the name of the undertaker and when the doctor last saw the deceased alive, were also included. As with births and marriages, this amount of detail had proved difficult to maintain. The deceased's birthplace was removed from 1856, as were the names of any children. The spouses name was also not required from 1856, but was reinstated in 1861. "

I think this is what you are asking?

Best wishes
