Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Death certificate
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 08:49:47 +1300


I wish to order a death certificate for my husband's great grandmother. She
was alive, aged 80, in the 1901 census but not with the family in the 1911
census.
I am having trouble finding her in death indexes as we are not 100% sure
which name she would have died under.
She is believed to have been born Bridget Mulqueen and married John Healey
(or Healy) but in the 1901 her son in law describes her as Bridget Mulqueen
his mother in law. Did Irish women revert back to their maiden names when
widowed? I have not struck this before.
I only have access to death indexes to 1905. Is there an easy way to search
death indexes up to 1911 for her.
At the time of the 1901 census the family were living in the Poor Law Union
of Kilmallock, Electoral District of Rockhill in the parish of Bruree. I am
assuming this is where she died.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Heather, New Zealand
