Looking for the Death Record of Shane Gallagher of Rosbeg, Donegal, he died sometime between 1891 and 1901.

Question

Cannot find a death for Shane Gallagher.  Any help would be appreciated.  Have looked in Rootsireland and Findmypast.  Irish Catholic records online do not have this timeframe from 1890 to 1901.

Thank you Frank:

       I had viewed that Will reference, but I do not believe this is our Shane.  I know from Dog Licenses and the 1901 census that he died between 1891 and 1901 and his wife was Bridget McHugh and not Margaret.
