Breslins

Hello

I am trying to find where my grandparents Patrick Breslin are buried, Patrick was born about 1868in Carndonagh, he married Margory/Margery McElwaine in Carndonagh on 7 Dec 1890, he died 8 Jan 1939 age 71 in Cardonagh. I have a copy of his death certificate. Patrick's father was John Breslin/Bresland (according to the marriage certificate).

His wife Margery was born 1870 Foden, Cardonagh and died 7 Nov 1934 at Tulnaree age 64. I also have a copy of her death certificate. Her father was Alexander McElwaine.

In the 1901 census Patrick was an agricultural labourer and 1911 census a farm labourer.

They had the following children

Mary born about 1893

Alexander born about 1894

John Josephborn about 1896

Patrick born 16 Oct 1898 (my grandfather)

Winifred born about 1900

Michael born about 1902

Madge born about 1905

Francis De Sales born 5 Oct 1909

All born Cardonagh.

I would like to know where they are buried. I have visited Carndonagh and looked in the local church graveyard but no luck in finding them. A cousin of my father's remembers their funeral and the procession to the graveyard. I do realise they maybe could not afford a gravestone.

I am finding it hard going trying to find any Breslin's and would appreciate any help.

Thank you

Norah Wood nee Breslin.
