Hi

Perhaps this is information that you are aware of already

I am fairly certain that I have located your Gt Gt Grandmother Hannah's grave in Deansgrange cemetery. Her date of death was 1906, not 1908. The ink in the original handwritten document was a bit smudged which lead to the error. Details: Anna Rickaby, Date of Death Nov 4th 1906, Date of burial Nov 6th 1906. Plot West/X1/14.

Hannah was originally from Kilcoole in Wicklow as per her Kilmainham record

I did visit yesterday, but was unable to locate the grave, I will pop over next week and try again - likely there will not be a headstone. I have located her death cert and her Loughlinstown/Rathdown workhouse records which all match.

I have been unable to locate a death cert for Thomas, your Great Great Grandfather, or any evidence of his elopement.  I have located a lot of family history and documents including two family graves for family of James Rickaby 1836-1899, Merrion Ave, then moved to 63, Booterstown Ave. Rickabys from Booterstown are in the main shoe makers/repairers. Do you know of any brothers that Thomas may have had?

Very hard times,in particular if you were a woman without a husband to support you. My sister and I were unable to trace out Gt Gt Grandfather, and discovered he left his family and relocated and married again in US, while his wife remained in Ireland alive with children. My sister discovered this by going down DNA route. My Gt Gt Grandmother is also in a common grave in Glasnevin. Perhaps they agreed to separate, we will never know!

Regards,

Mary

Hello Glasgow

I have revisited Deansgrange Cemetery Office, viewed the original data plus visited grave for Anna Rickaby, date of death 4/11/1906, Loughlinstown/Rathdown Workhouse.

Unfortunately, as I expected there is no headstone, but the grave is in a quiet, peaceful setting.

If you would like a photo, I can be contacted at   mjones@irelandxo.com

Regards,

Mary
