Death notice look up request

Hermy · 2020-09-01 17:45:30

I wonder does anyone have access to the Irish Times as I've had no luck with Irish News Archive or Find My Past for this one? I want to check for a death notice of this James Traynor who died in Dublin on Jan 16th 1894. I'm hoping it might mention family and confirm him as one of mine.

That's a pity but thanks for checking.

The chap I think he might be was baptised Frederick James.

The informant shares his surname with James's mother and is a brush manufacturer like James's father so in all likelihood it's him.

However, as he died unmarried and appears to have been buried on his own I'd like something else to get him over the line.

I've just paid for the burial record of James at Glasnevin and he's buried in an adjoining plot to that of his parents so that's good enough for me.
