Con Mullane. R.I.P 1940 Mourneabbey

Did you contact the church in Mourneabbey? They might be able to assist.  Good luck.

Hi Elaine,

A Cornelius Mullane from Glenville who passed away on June 25 1940 was laid to rest in Ballinmona Cemetery near Mallow  - ref: Irish Examiner Newspaper. Good luck with your research.

Hi Elaine,

Cornelius's death is here - the death was registered where he died, in a Cork Hospital and not where he lived.

Sorry - it should read   https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…;

Hi Phyl/Clonpriest, I am still getting used to the site and haven’t worked out if ye are the same person yet. I was locked out for a few days due to a password mix up hence my late reply. Thanks so much for the replies, I had managed to locate the registration of his death on the Irish genealogy website but I'm absolutely thrilled to get confirmation of where he is buried. I was actually in that graveyard last week and must have walked past the grave, I can’t go this weekend but will definitely go Saturday week for a more thorough look. I’m relatively new to this research, can I ask is there somewhere online you were able to locate the obituary or is it just by subscribing to newspaper archives? Thanks again for the help, I can’t get over how helpful and genuine the people on this site are. Elaine. 

Hi Patricia, thanks for your reply.  I e mailed the parish priest but I haven’t had a response yet. I’ve also contacted the Mourneabbey heritage society who have been very helpful and are looking into it for me. This is a great resource, I can’t believe how nice and helpful everyone is. 

Hi Elaine 

You are very welcome.  2 ways to check are:  check locally if there is a local person who has the Cemetery burial book - usually they oversee the opening of a grave, up to the day of the burial OR it may be the local Town Councill who have ownership of the book.  Local knowledge can sometimes be an excellent avenue, elderly patrons in a local pub etc. Yes, Elaine its a subscription website   irishnewspaperarchives.ie   Good luck with your research. phyl is the name and Clonpriest is the area I represent.

Hi Phyl, 
 

Thanks so much for that, you are very good. I am going to go down Saturday week, fingers crossed I can find it. I was able to find my grandmothers grave online, it’s in Dunbollog cemetery, there was a photo of it online, I’m hoping to visit it as well if I don’t spend too long looking for Con’s.
