Hi Seanmac -

If you still are looking up grave inscriptions , could you look up some in my family .


Samuel Frye -b. circa 1800

Mary Frye ,nee Prior  - b. circa 1800

The only record I have of them is their name and where their daughter was born . Their daughter was Anna Frye - b.  Dec 1836 in Rathdowney .

Anna ended up marrying a Martin McGrath , and they live in Ballyraggett , Co. Kilkenny . He was a baker/ confectioner .


Thank you,

Megan

Hi Seanmac, Thank you so much for your kind offer and the trouble you have taken to amass these records. I am looking for the graves of James Lalor/Lawlor and his wife Mary (nee Corcoran) who married in 1845.  Both were R.C. They gave their address as Kyle on the wedding record and on their sons birth record as Castlebail, which I gather are almost adjecent. I would not know what cemetery would be close to these places as I do not live in Ireland.  Many Thanks.  bridget

Hi Bridget,
My records of Kyle cemetery show no Lalor headstones, which  may not mean they are buried there as most of the stones cannot be read.
I have not come across Castlebail in my records, so perhaps another area is close by.
Any other information would be of use.
Thanking you,
Jack

Hi Seanmac ,

I am wondering if you have a record in your cemetery index for these names .

Fr. Brendan Sheeran - priest

Fr. Seamus Sheeran - priest , only a memorial stone next to his brother as actual burial was in Port Elizabeth , South Africa

They also had a sister who I believe became a nun and is probably buried with them also .

I don't know their fathers name , but their mothers maiden name was McGrath .

Any info you can give would be appreciated .

Thank you ,
Megan

Thank you so much Seanmac for your swift reply. After a four year search I have only just found out the information from a very basic record, not a proper marriage or birth certificates. I obtained it through The Irish Heritage site which a Rootchatter on here (bless him/her) recommended on line. The Parish/District given was Dunnamaggin. Although the name “Castlebail” was given on the birth record I could not find it on the map but did find a Castlehail in that area. Is this the correct name?  Is Dunnamaggin a large City/Town that would hold the records for outlying rural areas?  Where would one write to for birth, marriage or death records?  Somehow I suspected if I was lucky enough to find these graves the headstone, (if any) would be too old to make the inscription legible. I think I am only left with the option of hopefully finding the death and place of burial on record somewhere. Once again , thank you so much for your help, you are indeed a STAR.  Bridget

Hi Jack
Any chance you would be able to look for the surname Becton.
Much appreciate your reply.

Seymor

I have an Emray Becton (I think the first name is correct) he is a witness to my great grandparents wedding in Aghaboe on 14 May 1872

Hello PJB,  I think you may have sent a message to me regarding Emray BECTON by mistake. I think it may have been meant for Seymour, ? Regards, Bridget
