I have loaded the photographs taken at the old Church of Anatrim near Coolrain to my web site

The photographs can be see at:
http://www.laoisgenealogy.com/graves/anatrimold/index.htm

The surnames and placenames found on the stones are listed below.

 

General photographs showing the condition of the graveyard and the numerous stones which can't be read and marker stones can be seen in the Anatrim photo album on this web site.  The graveyard has been restored in the last number of years and the marker stones are all laid out the same way as in other graveyards, but the condition of the raveyard is deteriorating rapidly and it looks like it will soon be back to the way it was when I last visited it in 1999.

and I am going to load some general photos of the graveyard and church to an album on this site

 

 

 

Moyne has the oldest gravestones I've indexed forTipperary yet (Templemore has older but I've not indexed them yet).

 

Moyne is another small village, you can pass through it on the way to Templetouhy.  The Roman Catholic Church is on the street and the graveyard kind of a but back from that but visible from the road.    Like many graveyards its got a dedication to those who died in the great famine on the wall.  You don't see that until you are exiting though!

 

The Gravestone photos are at:

 

and I'll put some of the photos of the church in the album on this site

Drom is a pretty little one street village, there's a lovely thatched cottage right beside the Church grounds.  Placenames mentioned on the stones lie in many of the surrounding civil parishes and even up to Dublin and over to America, Chicago to be exact

I've a photgraph of a deserted house that I passed when on my way to Drom on my Irish Sites & Sights blog just in case anyone is interested in old deserted Irish houses and then I have other photos of Drom which I'll put on the From Ireland web site one of the days apart from the few of the church and graveyard which I am going to load to this blog.

 

 

There I was, going from A to B over Christmas when I came across Smithstown, there aren't many stones but I got chatting to a local man, it was between rain showers nad he was busy with his silage or something like that!! but he did tell me a few things about the area and the graveyard. 

 

Mr. Heffernan, the man responsible for the restoration of this graveyard died working on it and is buried there.
