    Camross Old Friary, Co. Laois, Ireland. Gravestones

    I have loaded all the photographs taken in Camross which I have not included on my Laois Genealogy web site.  The majority of the gravestones in these photographs are in bad condition and cannot be read (labelled can't read, or simply left with the img number), but perhaps someone interested in that particular graveyard with a bit more computer savvy than myself can play around with the photos and see if they can make out a name or two.
     
    Of particular interest to people will be the photographs of the plaques with names on them which are located in the main body of the church.  I have numbered these photos so that they are the first to appear in the album
     
    The surnames which appear on the stones are as follows: Ashe - Barden - Bastick - Begley - Behan - Bennett - Bergin - Bowen -Bracken - Breen - Brickley - Brophy - Browne - Burke - Butler - Byrne - Cahalane - Campion - Carey - Carroll - Cashin - Clarke - Clear - Clooney - Coady - Cole - Collier - Conlon - - Connors - Conroy - Conway - Cordial - Coss - Costigan - Coyne - Crowley - Cuddy - Culleton - Deegan - Delaney - Delany - Dempsey - Dobbyn - Doherty - Donegan - Dooley - Doran - Dowling - Doyle - Drennan - Dunne - Dunphy - Egan - Fairbrother - Farquhar - Finlay - Fitzpatrick - Fogarty - Foy - Galligan - Galvin - Gannon - Gleeson - Gorman - Gready - Grogan - Guilfoyle - Hayes - Heffernan - Hensey - Hickey - Hickson -Higgins - Hogan - Holohan - Hooban - Howard - Humphres - Hyland - Jackson - Jones - Jordan - Kavanagh - Keenan - Keeshan - Keeshin - Kelly - Kennedy - Keogh - Keyes - Kilbride - Killilea - Kilmartin - Kirwan - Lalor - Larkin - Lawlor - Leahy - Lowry - Lyons - Maher - McCarthy - McCartney - McDonnell - McEvoy - McLernon - Moore - Mortimer - - Muldowney - Mullally - Murphy - Naughton - Nolan - O hAimhirgin - O Laighin - O'Brien - O'Brien - O'Callaghan - O'Gorman - O'Grady - O'Loughlin - O'Meara - O'Rourke - Palmer - Perkinson - Perrette - Phelan - Provis - Quinn - Quinn-Witt - Reddy - Ryan - Sawyer - Scully - Sheeran - Stanley - Staunton - Steele - Sydes - Thompson - Thorpe - Timothy - Tobin - Tuck - Tynan - Tyrrell - Walsh - Ward - Whitford - Witt - Vivian?
     
    The people were mainly from the civil parish of Offerlane, but also from Kyle and other surrounding parishes.
     
    An earlier version of the Camross gravestones exists on line, but the index for that version does not have the list of surnames and the photographs are not arranged alphabetically.  There are approx 252 photos, with about 151 different surnames so it really needed to be presented in an order that would be easy enough to find stones with particular surnames on them!
     
    The new index page for all the gravestone photographs which could be read and which are on the Laois genealogy web site is:
