Rev. Frederick Fitzpatrick

Cavan

Looking for exact burial location for Rev. Frederick Fitzpatrick who died 23 July 1870. Last residence was Lurgan Rectory, Virginia, Co. Cavan, Ireland. Also looking for burial location of his wife, Edwina Fitzpatrick who died 25 August 1875 in Dublin, last residence also given as Virginia, Co. Cavan, Ireland.

Hi Maryestanle

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out, I am assuming from the fact he had a wife he was Church of Ireland or Prostestant, the Church of Ireland can be contacted here and I have always found them very helpful. https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library/location-contact-det…;

If that fails the local Cavan Library or Archives may assist for him anyway as his wife died in Dublin, http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/Default.aspx?StructureID_str=1 and here http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/Default.aspx?StructureID_str=33

Also there may have been an obituary in either the local or national newspapers, the Irish Times is online since 1857, there is a subscription fee but you can purchase a day or a week etc. The British Newpaper archives have the Irish papers and there is also an Irish Newspaper Archive, all require subscription.

If they were Methodist or Baptist you could write or email there HQ for Ireland, I have contacted the Methodist Museum previously and they were most helpful.

Regards
Pat
