Newspaper look up

Searching the newspapers at Find My Past for the death of Catherine Pelly I get a result for the Irish Independent Feb 3rd 1908. However, when I search for the same item on Irish News Archive I can't find it. I wonder could someone with a subscription to Find My Past check to see if it's correctly recorded.

I have found that a lot with FMP and the papers. They sometimes even have a partial transcript of an entry and then there is no such page to be found when I browse the actual paper on INA.

I copied the article from FMP, but it does not appear in the edition on INA - at least not in the same page. I suppose it may be a city edition rather than a national one.

Yes, I thought that might be the case - thanks spurious.
