Coolahan-ColahaN-Kelly

Catherine:

I checked the 1901 census and found a Michael Colahan in Ballymanagh. He was not there in 1911 and presumably died. I did find an 1906 civil death index record for a Michael Coolehan in the Ballinasloe registration district. The age fits your information

Catherine:

The death records will not show parents. The death records show date, location, cause of death, name of informant and sometimes the relationship of the informant to the deceased.

Go to this link https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx  print out the death form, fill it out to the best of your ability and add the info from the index record: quarter/year of death and in Peter's case the year, registration district and the volume and page number. You need one form per person. Make sure you request a copy not  a cert. Mail the forms to the GRO in Co. Roscommon (address provided on instructions). You can ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you. Each request costs around 4 euros.
