There is a Hospital here in the town called St Vincents , it is for the care of the elderly, you do'nt mention a year ? this is the only place I know of, regards Damsel

Thank you Damsel, the year was in 50's I think could you let me have the address of St Vincents and a transport service there, ie from Dublin.   I will probably make a trip there soon to see if I can find out any information.  Has the place changed of is it still the same.

Many thanks

I need help finding Wynne's buried in Athy and around the 1865 to 1869 period.  The family was COI and were wife and children of Robert Wynne, Esq.  An address on a letter of this time period was Grangemellon, Athy. You mentioned having a list of burials for St. John's cemetery. Perhaps they are there.  Thanks for looking.  Marilyn

Hi again EmilyRose .
St. Vincents, Athy 0507-31614 if you need it, as for if it looks the same , I have only lived in Athy for about 14 months so I'm not sure how long the hospital has been there so I have added their number for you and I'm sure someone there would be able to tell you, but I would think it's been there a long time, its in an area called Woodstock here in Athy, not too far a walk form the trian if your reasonably fit about 15 minutes, you can get trains from Heuston Station in Dublin, time tables at http://www.irishrail.ie/home/, if you need detailed directions from the train or anything else do let meknow, regards Damsel

Hi There, I have looked at the burials in St Johns cemetry but no Wynnes I'm afraid, Grangemellon is an area about three miles outside Athy Town on the Carlow Road, the Church of Ireland is also on the same road their number is 059-8631446, you could check them for records for the period ?, otherwise the central library for COI is online for contact deatils at  http://www.ireland.anglican.org/ ,they do searches if you have approx dates for about €10, if I can be of any further help let me know, regards Damsel
