You could try searching on Irish counties or towns. It is also likely that this detail was simply not given by the next of kin in many cases. I noticed that quite a few of the results were naval.

ps I should mention that if you ever get 1000 hits, the engine has stopped searching, as it will only report a maximum of 1000. In this case you need to add additional search terms to get all the matches. The easiest way is to enter a date range.

I thought it was a bit low and also a bit of a neat figure.
Thanks Geoff!
