Information on the death of my Great Grandmother Ellen McMahon Simmons

Galway

in 1910 Ellen McMahon Simmons owned the pub in Market Square now known as An Taum. She died in July of 1910 but I have not been able to locate any information concerning her death in either the church records or civil records. Her young son Anthony died in 1909 and is probably buried in Creagh Cemetery, where I assume Ellen is also. If anyone can shed any light on their final resting place I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Michael Sparks

Michael, The newspaper obit posted on findagrave says she is buried in Creagh.

Yes, I am the one who posted the information on Find-a-Grave based on her "Obit"  We have visited the grave yard but we never were able to locate her grave or any church record.  My great grandparents owned the pub but according to my grand mother, they had very little money so perhaps they never erected a headstone for either Anthony or Ellen.  Thanks for your help.

Perhaps the church or cemetery office can provide the grave location.
