Death Places

A place of death may be shown for a listed person. Any such place will consist of up to 5 items. For Irish deaths these are: Detail, Townland, Civil Parish, County, Country.

A death record may look like any of the following:

Example Contains Explanation
Ireland Country All that is known or assumed is that the person died in Ireland
Co Leitrim, Ireland County, Country All that is known or assumed is that the person is that the person died in a specific county in Ireland

Place Item Example 1 Example 2 Explanation Notes
Detail Doogra Mohill Registrar's Office If a record names a place that is known to be within a townland, or else a specific address, it will appear here. If not, this detail will not appear If this detail appears on a death record then it will be included in the output
Townland or Street Kilmakenny Boeshill If the record names a specific townland or street it will appear here If this detail appears on a death record then it will be included in the output
Civil Parish Cloone Mohill The townland in which a death occurred is named here If a death detail is shown and it is derived from a burial record it is unlikely to give a detailed place of death and so only the Civil Parish to which the church in question belonged is shown
County Co Leitrim Co Leitrim The county in which a death occurred is named here  If only the county is known then only it (and of course the country) will appear
Country Ireland Ireland This appears on all deaths known to have occurred in Ireland  If only the country (generally Ireland) is known then that is all that will be shown
