I'm trying to track any details regarding a Susan Savage who died in Galway regional hospital but lived at 'The Lodge, Derrydevagh, Newport' in July 1987.

I found her headstone in Burrishoole graveyard and it notes 'Newport & Dublin'.

She may have been born Susan Lambert in 1912 in Dublin - I'm helping someone related to that family who wants to know what happened to her. The age on the death cert matches. This woman was a midwife/nurse.

Would appreciate some guidance - would anyone have any local historian contacts?

On the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie I found a 1936 marriage record for Susan Lambert and Charles Savage. You may already have this record.

We do have a volunteer in Burrishoole parish but I'd like more clarity regarding what you are looking for. Does the death certificate show the cause of death?

Thanks.

Not sure why I'm only getting a notification of this reply 2 months later - but thanks - I've got it all sorted now and found her.
