I have three Protestant ancestors who died in the townland of Barnagrotty in the in Civil Parish of Borrisnafarney, I would have expected them to have been buried in Borrisnafarney Church of Ireland Church, but the graveyard list does not have them buried there: https://historicgraves.com/graveyard/borrisnafarney-church-ireland/bsfy

They are:
Adam Cooke B:abt 1817 D:26 Jan 1872 Barnagrotty, King's County
George Pattison B:Abt 1784 D:16 May 1873 Barnagrotty, King's County
Elizabeth (Bessie) Matilda Pattison B:abt 1819 D:3 Apr 1897 Barnagrotty, King's County

The families were not poor, so I’d expect marked graves. It would be wonderful to find them. Can you help me ?

Edit: Just to clarify - I have copies of all the death registers - it's the graves I'm looking for
I found Annameadle graveyard was nearby - but no sign of the graves:

If there was no gravestone or the stone is illegible it probably won't appear on that site. Not all families bothered to erect a gravestone so it wasn't always a matter of money.
You said the family were Protestant- what denomination? were they actually Church of Ireland?

I believe they were Church of Ireland. Certainly, Adam and Bessie were married in a CoI church (Geashill). I have all their death certificates - it's just frustrating not to be able to find a gravestone, particularly as they seem to have been a relatively prominent family. Thanks for your ideas though.

Hi there  I am wondering what Essex Digby was given for the defence of Geashill. Do I take it this is a list of the armaments given out or did they bring  their own weapon?. Essex Digby may be one of our  ancestors hence my interest ! Regards Orkrad
Hi Orkrad, this excellent video provides some background, 25 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB5nSDraXIg

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Have I moved my family tree back 200 years?

This is a list of defenders of Geashill Castle in 1642.
I'm interested in the defender marked by the red arrow.
What name do you read? (I think I know but don't want to lead!)
If I'm correct, it may move the presence of my family in Ireland back 200 years from my current tree. (Just need to fill in the gaps!)

Pensioner! Not much of an occupation!  ;) But he would have been ~64 at the time
