Death Places
A place of death may be shown for a listed person. Any such place will consist of up to 5 items. For Irish deaths these are: Detail, Townland, Civil Parish, County, Country.
A death record may look like any of the following:
Example | Contains | Explanation |
Ireland | Country | All that is known or assumed is that the person died in Ireland |
Co Leitrim, Ireland | County, Country | All that is known or assumed is that the person is that the person died in a specific county in Ireland |
Cloone, Co Leitrim, Ireland | Civil Parish, County, Country | All that is known or assumed is that the person died within a particular civil parish within the county in Ireland |
Kilmakenny, Cloone, Co Leitrim, Ireland | Townland, Civil Parish, County, Country | The townland or street of death is known |
Doogra, Kilmakenny, Cloone, Co Leitrim, Ireland | Detail, Townland, Civil Parish, County, Country | The specific location within the townland is known |
Some further explanations are on the table below. Please read the Notes as they help explain why details may be missing on particular records.
Place Item | Example 1 | Example 2 | Explanation | Notes |
Detail | Doogra | Mohill Registrar's Office | If a record names a place that is known to be within a townland, or else a specific address, it will appear here. If not, this detail will not appear | If this detail appears on a death record then it will be included in the output |
Townland or Street | Kilmakenny | Boeshill | If the record names a specific townland or street it will appear here | If this detail appears on a death record then it will be included in the output |
Civil Parish | Cloone | Mohill | The townland in which a death occurred is named here | If a death detail is shown and it is derived from a burial record it is unlikely to give a detailed place of death and so only the Civil Parish to which the church in question belonged is shown |
County | Co Leitrim | Co Leitrim | The county in which a death occurred is named here | If only the county is known then only it (and of course the country) will appear |
Country | Ireland | Ireland | This appears on all deaths known to have occurred in Ireland | If only the country (generally Ireland) is known then that is all that will be shown |
