I am trying to locate some information for my great Grandfather and his parents. I do know that they were all alive and living together as per the 1911 census in Ardgroom Outward, Kilcatherine Parish. My grandfather was Daniel McCarthy b: March 1870 and he married Julia O'Connell in Boston, MA. They later returned to the family farm and lived with his parents. His wife Julia lived to Nov. 1969 and is buried in Kenmare with 3 of her sons but not with her husband.
Daniel's parents were Patrick McCarthy and Catherine (nee Dunne). I have no further information other that they were in thier mid 70's in 1911.
I actually have handwritten research of my McCarthy family obtained from Riobard O'Dwyer in 1996 which has helped me so far. I have not been able to locate anyhting regarding when or where they would have been buried. I am a novice and have checked a number of databases with no luck to date. I tend to think that he would have been buried with his parents in the parish. Thank you for any help or guidance.

I located the 1915 death record for Patrick and the likely 1917 death record for Catherine. The informant for Catherine was daughter in law Julia.
ninth record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
eighth record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
I located two cemeteries in the area Kilcatherine and Gortnabullige in Eyeries and although both cemeteries had McCarthy headstones none were for Patrick and Catherine and it is possible they did not have a headstone. http://www.corkgen.org/cemeteries/
