    Between dna, irishgenealogy.ie and the Deansgrange Burial records, I've found my grandmother's birth mother :)

    Could I trouble some kind soul to take a look and see if there's an obituary for
    Mary Mooney, nee McCann - died 26/04/1958. Address 1a,Tivoli Avenue, Harolds Cross

    and / or

    Michael Mooney (her husband) - died 23/01/1977. Address 90 Rutlands Flats,Kimmage.

    I don't think Mary went on to have other children but I hoping an obit might show up other family members.

    I've a few credits on scotlandspeople so if I can repay a favour I will.

    Thanks a million,

    S.

    Michael found, sent the text of both on as you can't attach images to PMs.

    Took a quick look for acknowledgements a month on and don't see anything

    It's funny - I was about to email Mount Jerome last week as I assumed with an address in Harold's Cross, she would've gone there. Took a quick look at the Deansgrange records and there they were.

    Worth looking into and following up also on anyone else in the same grave.

    I have - just the pair of them in the plot.

    Mary would've been 42/43 when she married so I wasn't reckoning on any further children.

    Hi, does anyone know of any uk websites similar to RIP.IE, where you can look up deaths and/or obituaries of deaths in the UK (Recent deaths and some older deaths around 1970's)

    Or what would be the best site to find UK Obituaries?
