Death after September 25, 1912     2c 5a
Event Note

I didn't find a death record for John Rodgers through 1922, the end of the free online records. He likely died about 1928, since the land passed to a Patrick Rodgers in 1928.

He was alive on September 25, 1912, when his daughter Mary was married.

one of these is probably John, most likely the first, since the land changed hands on record as of 1928:

D/1927/128/1015/8/176 John Rodgers 4th March 1927 78 Male Kilkeel(pre-1973 Q4)

D/1920/123/1015/11/314 John Rodgers 21st October 1920 79 Male Kilkeel(pre-1973 Q4)

There is an outside chance that this is John, but the age at death seems young:
D/1925/125/1015/12/351 John Rodgers 4th July 1925 71 Male Kilkeel(pre-1973 Q4)

The charge to look at the records is 2 1/2 Pounds, as of November 2018.
