City of Cork Cemeteries

Cork

I dont know if this is the right forum for this but I do not know where else to try. My great grandparents married in Co Fermanagh and moved to Scotland in the 1870s. Just recently, by trawling through the Irish BMD records for a given area (Thank you Ireland) I was able to identify a sister for my great grandfather. She married in 1866 and had at least one son, called George Beatty/Beattie. I lost the family until the 1901 census when I found George living in Cork. He was easily identified by his birthplace, his fathers name and occupation.

George Beatty was a railway worker and he married Kate Traynor in St Patricks Church in Cork on 2 June 1892. They had several children and they lived in Lower Road (Lower Glanmire Road), Cork.

Kate died in the North Infirmary in 1910 but the family continued to live in the same street until the 1911 census at least. George died in 10 Wallace Avenue Blackrock in 1932.

I am totally unfamiliar with the area but wonder if someone might be able to help me? George was C of I but his wife and children were R C. Where might Kate be buried and I wonder, with the religious differences, if George would be able to be buried in the same place?

Any information regarding Cork around this period will be much appreciated.

HI,

The following is a copy of death notice in Evening Echo, Cork City dated November 21st 1938:

At Mercy Hospital, November 20th 1938 George Beatty, 10, Wallace Ave, late (GSR). Deeply mourned by his daughters, sons in law and grandchildren.

Funeral Private

I suggest you contact the Heritage Officer, Cork Co. Council, as normally there is a burial record held by the Council. It is likely that George was buried with his late wife?

Regards,

Hi,

In relation to previous post, the 1911 census does not show their son - William Henry 1894?

The nearest cemetery appears to be Rathcooney. I have checked the burial record online, but did not find a "Beatty/Beattie". You can google it.

Due to the Corona virus, it will be difficult to get death records for Catherine and her son. He is not mentioned in the death notice for his father.

It depends on which died first, as this will indicate the cemetery.

Cork Heritage is   heritag@corkcity.ie

Should I come acrross any further record, I will let you know.

Regards,

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.  I will contact Cork heritage once the lockdown is lifted when life returns to some sort of normality. 

I did notice the son wasn't with them in 1911 and thought perhaps he might be working elsewhere.  I might just look for his death also.  I know one daughter married and moved to Dublin but there is the normal closure period for researching from a distance so I am limited.  Not complaining though as it was good to give my great grandfather a relative.

Thank you again,

Kate
