Any possibility?

YES Janet thats it, iv been looking all day , i just looked back at the community and you'd posted, thank you, does it say where he is buried ?

Sorry, no. I've only ever seen one death certificate that listed the cemetery and that was one of my uncles in Scotland. Maybe somebody else knows differently.

Maybe if you Googled 'cemeteries in Dublin South' there might be an online list.

Those were from Family Search (Mormon) site. If you had a church near you that had a search office, they could perhaps look them up using the references.

Good luck.
