    This image is from Family Search.

    Cant find it on Irish Genealogy - other than requesting the certificate any other way of finding it?

    Thanks...

    There's no registration district on that image.
    Can you link to the index record on familysearch?

    There's 2 John Gregory deaths in 1900 but they were 26 and 82.
    Without a district, the GRO would probably come back to you and say these are the only people with that name.

    The same error exists in the Ancestry database, which nicely shows again that there's no difference between it and Familysearch's version apart from the price!

    Perhaps John's death was listed in the ‘Deaths at sea’, or some such register not yet available on Irishgenealogy.ie.

    Same information on Findmypast.ie - it gives a page number, but no volume or Registration district, so might be worth following up with GRO office as he may be on a list of those who died abroad, or maybe body never found.... etc

    mystery solved perhaps

    John Henry Gregory was a master mariner he was run over by a train on a public road 150yds from the dock in Port Talbot [according to the register of deaths at sea on Findmypast] His ship was the City of Oporto, registered in Dublin. See details of his will from the will calendars:

    Seems his wife may have died shortly thereafter.

    From the Irish News and Belfast Morning News 29 March 1900...

    Actually that may be his mother based on her age at death.

    Apologies for delay in answering, out all day.
    This is really interesting! Oral family history talked of a Captain Gregory, died overseas, possibly Glascow, knocked down by a tram. No christian name known, but found John H Gregory mentioned, possible to differentiate him from his father John Gregory, Carpet Layer, died 1899.

    Deadly!
    Too much of a coincidence not to be the same man as my bit of family history has.

    Thank you.

    Yes Sarah was mother of John H. Gregory. Sarah is my GGGrandmother - found details of her and her husband John's grave in Glasnevin yesterday. Buried with Mary Julia (daughter of John H. Gregory).

    I think the Ancestry base was just copied from the FamilySearch one...
