I did not see any Gantleys. It is possible she is buried in an older cemetery in Mountmellick such as the Ivy Chapel.

Local volunteer contacted.

For reference - if I have the correct death for this Mary Gantley, she actually died at Shanderry townland a widow reported age 82.

This Shanderry townland is in Co. Offaly (King's County) and adjacent to the town of Portarlington - see placename database entry : Shanderry townland, .Clonyhurk Civil parish.  

The town of Portarlington was split between Co. Offaly/King's County and Co. Laois/Queen's Co. and both the town and an area round was all in the civil registration district of Mountmellinck based in the adjacent county of Co. Laois/Queen's. There was registration office & dispensary for Mountmellick at Clonygowan not far from Portarlington.

There's a Gantley household still at Shanderry townland on the 1901 and 1911 census returns - likely relations of this Gantley/Scully line...

Good Morning Kevin, 

I have checked the Death Register and there is no record of any Gantly (Gantley) buried in Mountmellick between 1820 and 1949.

Regards, 

Carol
