Mary Molloy married Michael Bernard Cummins in Dublin on August 15, 1887. Their first child, Mary Elizabeth, was born in Dublin, but their next two children, Thomas Bernard and Christina, were born in Tullamore. Mary Molloy Cummins died on December 19, 1890, giving birth to Christina. Christina died less than three years later on April 7, 1893. I am trying to determine the most likely burial places for each. 

Michael Cummins was related through marriage to the Egans of Ballyduff - his mother was Eliza Egan (born in September 1836 as the sixth child and third daughter of Bernarnd Egan and Anne Tynan). I have been told that the most likely burial spots are Clonminch Cemetery, Durrow Cemetery, and Kilbride Cemetery. By the time of the deaths, all of Michael Cummins' family had already relocated to Breaffy, Castlebar, Mayo and there had been no Cummins deaths of which we are aware during their life in Tullamore. If the Egans had any influence on Mary Molloy Cummins' and/or Christina Cummins' burials, Durrow might make sense, but there are no records of which I am aware that would detail where they were interred.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
