Could someone give me an idea if and where I might find these reported on the internet. Their last names were Shields and they were born after 1878 and before 1905. Thanks for any leads on this

	I would think the deaths would have been reported in the local newspapers. You might also find something at the Public Records site for Northern Ireland: http://www.proni.gov.uk/index.htm Details of NI newspapers can be found at: http://www.ulsternet.co.uk/
