Allan/Burgess connection

CorkAghada (Cork)

Looking for any connections or links to the family of Angela Allan(was she in fact Angelina Coyle?)who was present at the death of her auntElizabeth Burgess, spinster,who died in her home at Lower Aghada on 5th April 1937. Elizabeth was born in Aghada in 1874, daughter of John Burgess and Abigail Bride.

I'm also searching for the location of the burial of any of the Burgess family who died in Aghada. I have been unable to locate them on cemetery searches. Thank you.

I have made some progress and now know that in Aghada, 1925 Abina Coyle married Thomas Sawyer, a soldier stationed at Fort Carlisle, Whitegate.

In 1926 Anna Coyle married David Allen, also a soldier based at Fort Carlisle, Whitegate. 

Could anyone assist regarding the location of information about the troops stationed at Fort Carlisle in this period and where they originate from? The marriage certificates give no more information other than soldier, Fort Carlisle. 

As, before, I'm also searching for infomration about the burial places of the Burgess family who died in the 19th and 20th century at Aghada. 

Thank you!
