Hi A,

Nothing in either graveyard.  I'll keep searching; strange there's a plot number.

Thank you.

That's not really a plot number- looks like the website has merely labeled it #5 out of 18 graves.

If the website was able to find the grave number, there must be some documentation; correct?

No, the information you are getting is from a database where each gravestone has been assigned a number. It is unlikely that any records of individuals/plots (if ever kept) will survive.

I'm non the wiser as to where it is, but it is also the resting ground of a Manas Convery who died on the 20th July 1773, aged 40 years. Maybe related...

You are truly wiser! 

I'm certain this is a relative.  Is there a way to obtain information about the resting ground and/or Manas, who died in 1773, online?

Any informatin where you obtained your information would be helpful.
