Hi there!
Do you know St. John's cemetery?   Many of my Molloy (Church of Ireland) relations were buried there.   I would love to see some photographs of their tombstones.

p.s. I lived in Athy when I was a child and went to school at the nuns and then the christian brothers until I was about 14.   I didn't know anything about the Molloy's then!

That's great news Damsel.

I hope there are other members living in Kildare who may be able to help you.
I know there are several members in the Belfast area as we send the occasional
messages to each other but in many areas of Ireland it's hard to tell if someone
is living in the area. I am noticing this as I am doing my best to organise the
Meet in Dublin. Perhaps those living close to Damsel would consider posting her
a PM if they are able to assist as I feel she will get quite a few messages

Any photos of gravestones would be most appreciated.

Hello Celtic Damsel,

Fancy making a trip to Kill Church or is that too far for you.

Looking for headstone to Anne/Anna, daughter of William & Mary Wright, who died suddenly 19th October 1862 at the Earl of Clonmell's Bishops Court Estate & was buried at Kill Church Co Kildare on 24th Oct 1862. 

Anne was born 1822 in Norfolk and was mother to my maternal great-grandfather. Local information would be welcome such as parish/church records. How far is Kill from Bishops Court Estate. ?

Thanks & regards John
