Hi All 

                I am looking for a  grave or a date of death for William John Mc Namara of the Square Rathkeale who was born 1896 

and who was 15 years old in the 1911 Census. .His mother's name was Mary and his father's name was Michael who was deceased at this time..Any information would be very much appreciated in getting to the bottom of my heritage.

Thanks

    Your previous message and comments were deleted. Not sure why. 

    With help from Shane Wilson, I have the 1896 death record for Michael McNamara. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…

    It indicates he was a former RIC constable which was the question I asked you on the prior message. I also sent your the 1939 death record for Mary McNamara. Do you have the record?

    Did William John stay in Rathkeale? I just checked and there was no William McNamara marriage or death record from 1911 on in the Rathkeale registration district.

  • Dear Roger 

                          Thanks for your prompt reply to my query, I messed up my previous post by deleteting it  by mistake - Sorry about that. William  John's father had ben in the Ric as far as I know. . I have heard that William he died when he was 32 years old which would have been 1928 . I dont know where..Maybe America as emigration as you know was very common at the time I dont have a copy of his mother's birth cert,

    Regards

    John
