Can't find GG Grandfather's Drumcliffe Cemetery grave 1870
Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2015 7:22 am
I just found the obituary of my great great grandfather, John Harnett Milward, who died in 1870.
He had been the Manager of the National Bank at Ennis for many years.
From the Obituary, I learned he was interred in Drumcliffe Burial Ground.
According to their website, the Clare Roots Cemetery has finished transcribing the gravestones in the Old Drumcliffe Cemetery (Thank you very much!!)
The photos and the gravestone information are available on the Clare Library website at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... _ennis.htm .
I did a search for him there but John H Milward is not listed in their database.
Does that mean his gravestone is too decayed to have been identified?
Have I reached a dead end?
Does anyone know, at this point, how I should proceed?
I have a feeling that most of the Milward family might be buried near him ...... wouldn't THAT be an awesome find!!
Don't these cemeteries have an office or a registry where records are kept on who is buried in their cemetery and where they are?
I've included a copy of the obituary ....
Thank you for reading!
