I suppose it's the same as nowadays. If the family members want to put it in the paper they do. Or if he/she was important enough to merit an article.

I did watch the show on Monday night but wasn't paying 100% attention, so can't remember seeing that bit.

A catalogue of old newspapers available to view in the National Library can be found ( http://www.nli.ie/en/newspapers-catalogues-and-databases.aspx ). For instance, they have the Irish Times from about 1854 on microfilm Oh, it's also free to go in and view the microfilm just can take hours
