Finding relatives in Irish Cemeteries

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I wonder if anyone can help. I'd like to know how I can find relatives buried in Irish cemeteries. I have a relative Nannie Mccleery who I know was buried in the Protestant part of St Patrick's Cemetery in Dundalk Co Louth in 1896 just after the cemetery was opened. I would like to find if her husband John( died 1912 ish I think ) is buried there and also if there are any other Mccleerys particularly their son Francis.
I have looked at many sites but have been unable to find any. Any help would be great. Thanks
Jackie

Thanks for this. I had already found this but my problem is getting access to records for St Patricks Cemetery. Have you any idea where I can go for help? Thanks

An internet search brings up a contact as [email protected] although it might be for the site it was found on. No harm in trying.

You could also search or post on Billiions of Graves.
