McGrath's of Waterford

Neal:

I looked at the 1911 census for Ballyristeen. I found this record which may be Michael McGrath's sister. Note the nephew born in Australia. Possibly he was the son of William.

I also found the civil death index record for Michael. You can write to the General Register Office for a copy of the death record. A copy costs around 4 euros. The record will show the name of the informant of the death which possibly would be the sister. Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx  Hit the link for death certificate in English. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. Hit cancel and the form should come up. Fill out the form and provide the info from the index record quarter/year of death, registration district (Kilmacthomas) and the volume and page number (4 and 387). Make sure you only as for a copy. You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.

Roger,

Thank you.  I feel this is Michael's Sister too.  The Australian nephew I bet is Michael's son.  Thank you for the how to order Michael's death cert...I had already looked without success.  How do I go about in finding Michael's grave...he was catholic.  I have looked on the net and got nowhere. 

Once again thank you

Neal:

I would contact the church (St. Joseph and St. Benildus)  in Newtown to see if they can assist you on where Michael may be buried.
