Hi Mary,
I am also the "owner" of the Yahoo group milgenire - Military History/Genealogy of Ireland and its Facebook mirror http://www.facebook.com/groups/milgenire/

It occurred to me that milgenire might be a good place to post your Barracks photos and names? It would certainly make me very happy.

Just a thought.

Regards,

Denis (Donnacha)

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for your help and especially taking the time to check with the cemetery.

I suspected that the grave would be difficult to identify after what had been decades of neglect. I find it odd that there is no record other than the register though when there are so many headstones from much older graves. Oh well; that's how it is.

[Yes, I was aware of the Charles Innes Grant and wife Eliza, if this is one of the the stones standing upright against the side of the  Barracks burial ground. I've kept open the possibility that these are the parents of Elizabeth Grant, i.e. my great grandparents but have been unable to solve the mystery.]

(Kindly disregard this last paragraph. I think it was way past my bedtime when I wrote it. I am aware of the Grant headstone you mention but the ggrandparent ref is incorrect. DG)
Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Denis

Hi Mary,
Not sure if this will reach you bute here goes:

Could I trouble you to take a look at what you have for the following (my grandfather and grandmother). I have taken the details from the Cork Archives Rathcooney book.

I don't expect these graves can be identified so I know it's a long shot.

Thank you for any efforts.
