Lookup: ARMOY CHURCHYARD - D'EVELYN

[SandieY]

Hi there

Is there anyone living near Armoy who could look up a gravestone for 'D'EVELYN'  which should be easy to find (hopefully).  I have heard there is at least one there but it is hard to get info from the other side of the world.

John William D'EVELYN was Rector of Armoy (C of I St Patrick's?) from about 1850 to 1894 when he died there.  He had a wife and several children some of whom were buried there also.

Any information you can find from the gravestone would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
Sandie

Won't be in that direction at the moment but if I do head over there sometime will try to look for the headstone but there's also a plaque in the church in memory of the Rector.

Sandy, This is not from the gravestone but I hope it is of some use.

Thank you very much, Aghadowey and Kingskerswell.  With your help today and with my postings earlier there was  information I did not have, which is much appreciated. 

I originally wrote because 'Kaz' was offering lookups at Armoy graveyard however he/she did not appear to be reading the lists at the time.

I thought I would try again for the gravestone inscription as I do not have all the relevant dates for his children or his wife, so if you do get over there some time Aghadowey, that would be great.
