I believe it is St James the old grave yard.

Does anyone know if it is possible to look at the burial registers for the Old Laturcan Cemetery?
I have contacted the parish office and they said they didn't hold them, but gave me an individual's name in the Council.  Contacted that person, who gave me the name of a local Genealogist who might be able to help, but who won't reply to an email.  Contact did agree that based on the dates and addresses I was researching that more than likely I was looking at the correct cemetery.
I wrote to the Genealogist, but never received an answer.
Any suggestions?

Do you know name of  local Genealogist ?

A couple of them died recently, another has Shingles and is not working.

Or ask Cathriona in Clones Library....

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.  Not Jack Storey, RIP.  Have the person's name but don't want to put on a public forum.
Is that Cathriona, mentioned in the Obituary Index thread?

Thanks...

Hi, apologies for the delay in replying, just saw this now.
Never got anything on Laturcan.  Did talk to Cathriona in Monaghan Library who found a newspaper reference of one of the burials.  This led me to the old cemetery in Donagh, where I now believe those I was looking for are buried in an unmarked grave, so I never pursued Laturcan records.  I was in Monaghan about a year ago and called to the library to thank Cathriona, who was unbelievably helpful.  Just my luck to pick a day she wasn't there...
