Claire,
Just came across your request for help.
I hope I can be of some help.
Firstly Im originally from Capparanny. '
The townland address comes under the parish of keeloges. It is where the families used to go to mass and school
(Both the old church and the old school were origonally built on the grounds of the existing church but is now the carparking area. Yes the people used to go to mass there but more often or not, the people were buried in the Turlough graveyard. "Round tower graveyard".
Its quite possible that your ancesters may be buried there but that no head stone exists.
However I think that the person who used to look after the registering the grave plots for that graveyard was a Mr William murphy from parke ( 75% Sure). I hope the info is of some help.
