I am looking for ideas on how to find my 2nd great grandfather’s death record. We believe he died between 1881 (after he witnessed his daughter’s death) and 1882 (when his wife and children emigrated to America). Family lore has it that the family came to the US because their father had died, and his wife is listed in city directories and census records as a widow.
His name was Patrick Conway and we believe he was born sometime between 1830 and 1840 in County Tyrone. He was a Catholic farmer, married to Unity McGlinn. I have located family records that include a marriage record in Plumbridge, birth records for two children born in Corramore and birth records for four children born in Aughdoorish. I have also found the death records for two of his daughters – jut not him. On this side of the pond I have tracked down records for his wife and six other children with no trace of him over here. Places I have unsuccessfully looked include Ancestry, My Heritage and [X] irishgenealogy.com<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Firishgenealogy.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C51cf3147c2784acd416708d87875fab7%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637391795390081268%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=dbW4Io5aB8DDzkwxtiL8Xi%2FCDgYZ2Vw2LyysTJlyC2Q%3D&reserved=0> Everyone seems to be too old, too young or never married. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look or why I cannot locate a record? I would think that even if he died elsewhere in Ireland there would be a civil record of it. Any help is greatly appreciated, and my sincere thanks in advance.
