Thank you, Pat, for all of the information. I am following up on your suggestions, and I have some more questions for you.
I have some information about the death of a Thomas Plunkett in 1895 at age 65. Registrar's District is St. Mary's, PLU is Drogheda, and I think it is a death certificate. A cousin sent it to me several years ago, but I don't know where she found it. I have a question about some of the information written on it. Would you be able to explain it? Is there a site where I can view an image of a record before ordering it?
I do have the Christian names of all 9 of the Plunkett children which I found in the Catholic Parish Registers. Only the two youngest were born after 1864, and I found the births of those two in the civil registration index on the Family Search site. Unfortunately, there is not enough data in this index to confirm the accuracy of some of the other siblings' marriages and deaths.
Lastly, I tried to post this as a reply to our pre-existing thread, but I could not locate a command button to do that, so I had to start a new thread. Please tell me what to do if I want to just post a reply.
Thank you,
Kerry

Hello Kerry
firstly any certificate would be the civil certificate after 1864 I assume so you either got the full death certificate or the €4 version I mentioned, the death certifcate usually gives the approximate address anyway plus the person there at time of death hopefully a relative. I think I sent you you the link for civil certificates, if not let me know.
The St Marys Parish RC cemetery opened in 1902, called Calvary and there are 8 Plunkett males there plus 4 females by their marreid names, I have an up to date book of the cemetery with inscriptions if you have any names you would like me to look up or I can scan in the main lot of them but the married ones are only referenced and each other page would require scanning, it is not a problem if you want them. The site I sent you has all the dead Plunketts listed with the grave yard, some Protestant, some mixed but you can see the Christian names, search Thomas Plunkett and you will get a number of hits, I see this one is buried in St Peters which is the other side of Drogheda and I think the Protestant one, this does not rule him out as your ancestor, actually the Protestant St Peters in Drogehda has all its records online and free. Mention of St Marys is the Prostestant graveyard on the south of the town in the St Marys parish, Cord is a very old graveyard, long closed and currently being refurbished. That is the JB Hall Freeservers site.
Ask away about anything on the certificate, does not mean I will know of course,
None of the sites have images of the certificates, I tried Ancestry and found the record but no image or other information.
Some times money is wasted on certificates as when you get them they are not the correct ones but that happens us all.
I live in St Marys parish and have no problem with questions and if you think it quicker you can email me at stpeters@irelandxo.com Let me know what part of the world you are in.
