March 18 County Laois or Queen's Co & others connecting it!Over the last while I've been having major computer problems with the result that I haven't been adding photos or much to this site or my From Ireland web site. Outside of not adding new stuff though, I have been busy working on a new web site for County Laois or Queen's Co., which is my main county of interest cos I grew up there.
The thing is, there are so many ways that the counties around any one county connect, you have Dioceses taking in more than one county, you can have one parish spread though two or more counties, you can have a civil parish of one name in one county but the Roman Catholic parish of the same name taking in townlands in two counties. Galmoy in Kilkenny and Portarlington in Laois are prime examples of this. Galmoy covers Laois & Kilkenny and Portarlington covers Offaly & Laois.
Anyway, I decided that I've seen too many people asking questions on the various county rootsweb mail lists which never get answered cos people tend to think of counties as being fixed individual entities. I've created a new mail list or group on Google Groups for Laois and the counties which surround it. I meant to include Tipperary in the name, but I forgot!! and I ended up with a group called : Carlow-Kildare-Kilkenny-Laois-Offaly-Ireland-genealogy
* Group home page: http://groups.google.com/group/carlow-kildare-kilkenny-laois-offaly-ireland-genealogy
So, even though it looks like I've not been too busy, I have, between setting up the Laois or Queen's County Genealogy web site at http://www.laoisgenealogy.com (to which I am busy moving information from the Laois section of my From Ireland web site, and then the new Google Group for the above counties. Then, I have to go back to anywhere that I have the old URL's at and change them, just like with this site. in the meantime, I have lots more new gravestone photographs to go on this site or From Ireland when I get round to it.
Jane January 28 Anatrim, Coolrain, Co. LaoisI have loaded the photographs taken at the old Church of Anatrim near Coolrain to my web site
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.

Offaly or King's Co. IrelandI have loaded the gravestone photographs which I took in Ballymacmurragh Roman catholic cemetery last year to my From Ireland web site. The Church is relatively new and stands on the side of the road. A man I met there told me that one side of the church was in one parish and the other in a different parish. The people buried in this graveyard come from Offaly, Laois and Tipperary.

January 26 Moyne, Tipperary, Ireland, GravestonesMoyne 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

Tipperary GravestonesThis is one I haven't mentioned before mainly because I hadn't created the name or place index for the photographs.
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
Smithstown, Co. KilkennyThere 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.
The photos are at:
October 05 Out.....or kind offor the moment................. !
My computer crashed the other day - I was backed up to last Friday, so at least that much is saved...........
The thing is though...I have so many photos from graveyards and not enough time to go through them re-naming them, indexing them etc. I just keep taking more photos.
Just cos you don't see something on this site for you............it doesn't mean it won't be here - sometime.
Jane August 15 TempletouhyThe graves in these photos are to be found around the Roman Catholic Church in Templetouhy village
Surnames appearing on the stones : Burke -Cormack - De La Poer - Dempsey - Hickey - Keating - Keatinge - Kennedy - Lalor - Murphy - Nelson see Lalor - Phelan see Lalor - Power see Lalor - Sheil
See the photo album for today's date Killeigh, Old. Co. Offaly (King's Co.)Last November I photographed gravestones in the old cemetery at Killeigh, Co. Offaly (aka King's Co.). The graveyard is not in great condition, only a small number of the stones were photographed as many were in very bad condition. The photographs are now on line at http://www.from-ireland.net/graves/off/killeighold/index.htm Surnames found on the photographed stones : Barry - Carberry - Carroll (maybe) - Corcoran - Coughlan - Cruise - Daly - Dempsey - Doran (maybe) - Dunne (maybe) see Hill - Garry -Grogan - Healion - Hill - Kelly - Kilduf (maybe) - Lally - McDonald - Molloy also see Mooney - Mooney - Nolan Jane http://www.from-ireland.net Mount St. Laurence, Limerick : Part 1I've loaded photographs of stones beginning with surnames A-C from Mount St. laurence graveyard in Limerick city this morning. There is a Christian brother plot in the graveyard, the monument gives the following surnames: Arthur - Barry - Buckley - Clarke - Colclough - Collins - Considine - Cregan or Gregan - Duggan - Gaynor - Hegarty - Kelly - Kilmartin - McAuley - McGrath - McNally - Molloy - Nestor - Nolan - O'Brien - Roche - Ryan The following surnames are also found on the stones with surnames A-C : Devany - Donegan - Egan - Enright - Kelly - Lenihan - Lynch - MacNiece - Murnane - Neiland - O'Brien - O'Connor - O'Connor - Portley - Purtill - Quinlan - Ronayne - Ryan - Scannell - Sheahan - Smyth - White Like I say on the web page it's not possible to load all the Mount St. laurence photographs together - as it is, depending on your connection, you'll see that it may take a while for this particular index page to load as there are over 100 thumbnails on it. It's not possible either to make sure that I keep track of photographs from family plots which may have the different surnames but which may be photographed separately. At this point I can decrease the size of the photo so that it takes up as little room on my web site as possible, plus, I can change the quality to make it a bit more readable than on the original. All of this takes a while and as it has taken me a day or two to edit the photos on this page it will be a while before I get the rest of this set finished. Should anyone in this group be interested in copies of the original photographs then please let me know and I will send them to you by email. Other photographs from Mount St. Laurence were loaded to my Gravestone page in the past, these are not included in this index Jane The photographs are at: http://www.from-ireland.net/graves/lim/laur1/index.htm Our Lady of the Wayside, Bird Hill, Co. TipperaryOur Lady of the Wayside Church is outside Limerick City on the main road to Limerick from Dublin. It's a small church with few gravestones in the grounds.
When I was on my way into Limerick back in October of last year I stopped and photographed the window and station of the cross memorial plaques, plus the memorials in the Church grounds.
Surnames : Aherne, Bradshaw, Carliss, Coffey, Hayes, Mulcahy, Mulvihill, Murnane, O'Dwyer, O'Rourke, Ryan and Kennedy. The photographs are on my From Ireland web site http://www.from-ireland.net and the index page can be found at
Jane June 03 Crosskeys, County KildareCrosskeys in County Kildare would seem to be literally that, just a street or two on a crossroads and outside this is the graveyard. Townlands mentioned on the stones in the graveyard are from the civil parishes of Ballybrackan, Kilberry, Monasterevin and Kildangan for the most part. The remnants of the chuch walls are totally overgrown just humps in the earth with stones inside the wall perimeter.
I've uploaded this set of photos to my FLICKR account as it was the quickest and easiest way of uploading this many photos at once

The photo below - it's kind of sad, someone remembering their parents but not naming them on the cross May 21 Templeree, County TipperaryI have loaded photographs taken in the graveyard at Templeree county Tipperary to my From Ireland website.
This graveyard is currently maintained by the County Council, it is about five miles out from Templehuohy on the Templemore road. It was once a Roman Catholic graveyard, the remains of the old church are in the centre of the site with graves in the body of the church. There are a few yew trees around the church. The gravestones which stand are not all that old, with only a few dating pre 1900. I've tried listing all the surnames as found on the stones below, and as I was creating the list I realised that I have not put some surnames on stone names.

April 12 Deansgrange Cemetery Dublin 1I've decided to load the Deansgrange photographs to my From Ireland web site because I prefer the layout where you can see a group of photos in the album and also because there is no limit on the number of photos I can load at any one time which makes it much easier to deal with what I have from these larger graveyards.
Deansgrange is one of the main cemeteries in Dublin city, it's located on the South side, lying between Dun Laoghaire and Foxrock. It is *very* big to say the least.
This first set of photos is from the Left Hand Side of the graveyard as one goes in through the main gate. The families are most likely non-Catholic and not all of this first section was photographed. There were a fair number of stones which could not be read once photographed and also many which I didn't take any photo of as I knew it wouldn't be possible to read them. Also, there are stones which are covered in ivy and other overgrowth and then there are damaged stones and places where there may have been stones but there aren't any more.
You can check out whatever information I have on graveyards around Dublin by going to the graves link on my Dublin page on the From Ireland web site
and then the Deansgrange Cemetery photos (1) are at

January 18 Tipperary Co : Templetouhy RC Church & gravesThere are two graveyards in Templetouhy village itself, and then another on the road out to Templemore - that's called Templeree which has Templetouhy people in it. I'm trying to watch the monthly limit on how many photographs I can upload to these pages, so for the moment, of the three graveyards I'm going with the smallest set. That's the set I took of the church and the graves located on the church grounds.
Templetouhy is on a road that goes from County Kilkenny to Templemore in County Tipperary, then another road joins it coming in from Rathdowney in County Laois. So, if you're on your way to Templemore from either Kilkenny or Laois, the church is to be found on a left hand turn off the main village street. You can't miss it, and the local national school is across the road from the church.
There aren't that many graves in the church grounds, a family tomb/enclosed plot to the Lalor /Power family and a few more, plus the priests of the parish

Surnames on these stones
Burke - Cormack - De La Poer - Dempsey - Hickey - Keating - Keatinge - Kennedy - Lalor & Phelan & Nelson & Power - Lalor - Murphy - Nelson see Lalor - Phelan see Lalor - Power see Lalor - Sheil January 13 Limerick City : St. Lawrence's : Y-IRL surnames of InterestThis graveyard is absolutely massive, that's one word to describe it - but then again, the city graveyards always are.
It's also old, unkempt and even a bit scarey to go around on your own. I don't think I'm the only person who would think that, one of the times I was there, I tried to ask an old lady what the name of the graveyard was and she just kept moving on, didn't want to talk to a stranger. OK, she may have been deaf, but even when I was face to face with her I still got the impression that she didn't want to be stopped by any stranger at all.
Anyway, that's just my impression of the place, and I've only ever had that impression in one other graveyard in the past and only in a section of that graveyard - Glasnevin in Dublin.
I have about 400 readable photographs from this graveyard and then probably another 50 which I can't read the names on. It would be hard for me to tell anyone where any particular gravestone was, though I guess I can give it a try based on the times the photographs were taken. I had begun at one section on my first visit and on my second visit decided that it would be better if I went to a different section of the graveyard. I will be back in Limerick some time next month, whether or not I will get back to this graveyard depends and so I'm going to hold off on loading all the photographs for the moment.
The thing is though, I was looking at Bob's Y-IRL surname list this morning and I thought, OK, let's try and begin using these Limerick photographs, let's make a bit more personal for my listers. So, with that in mind I've gone through the primary surname on any photograph and taken those with the surnames that are listed under Limerick on Bob's Y-IRL surname interest list. Y-IRL is an Irish genealogy list that I created on Yahoo and Bob is nice enough to keep track of the surnames that our subscribers are interested in and the county that their ancestors came from.
I've got about 70 photographs, and this can probably be broken down to 33 stones in all. The stones in St. Lawrences tend to be big, you'll be able to see that from the overview photo I am going to put in with the blog, so generally a close up shot had o be taken of the stones, plus lots of them have inscriptions on more than one side
If anyone who reads this is interested in seeing photographs taken around Limerick city, then take a look at my new Irish Sites & Sights blog

January 12 Kildare Co: Kilberry OldToday, we’re going back to County Kildare, to a place called Kilberry. Kilberry itself is on the main road to Carlow from Monasterevin in Co. Kildare, the road goes past Athy. It’s probably only a few miles out from Athy, but I came at it from the Monasterevin side accidently as I had missed the turn off I was looking for. There is a Protestant church on the main road and whilst I did take photographs there, it’s the other set that I am loading now. The ‘other set’ are photographs from what was the old catholic church (I think) but which is maintained by the County Council now. I say it’s probably the old Catholic church, but there are surnames in there (the older type stones) which if I heard them said I’d immediately think ‘they were Protestants’. So, don’t judge this graveyard as being of any particular religion. This is another of the church for which just walls exist. It’s at the end of a road which leads into a farmyard. If you do come from Monasterevin and you reach the Kilberry Protestant church then you have gone too far down the road, you’ve missed the turn for this particular church. It’s marked simply as a ‘church’ on Ordnance Survey Discovery Series Map No. 55. Historical sites are always in red script on these maps, so it’s location is easy enough to find on the map itself. This graveyard is still in use, but there is a notice from the County Council stating that only people who already have plots in this cemetery will be buried here now. It’s pretty, well kept and peaceful. What was most noticeable about this one compared to others was the number of children buried here – maybe it was because they all seemed to be in the section of the graveyard to the far side of the church body, but for the number of stones they stood out. I am not including photographs of the stones or memorials to children, except in one instance where the surname does not appear on any stone in this cemetery. There is no first name on this memorial. There is one other stone dedicated to a sixteen year old boy of the surname Dooley. That is not included here. There seemed to be a good few of the metal cross type markers with no names. These photographs will be included with the blog and not in the album I photographed four stones which I couldn’t read and which are not included here. Jane : http://www.from-ireland.net/contents/kilcont.htm Surnames found on these stones: Cahan & Moran - Chatfield - Cole see Kelly - Connolly see Owens - Dooley - Eustace babies - Fitzpatrick - Grattan & Owen - Hamilton - Hayes & Hutchinson - Hutchinson see Hayes - Johnson - Kane - Keeeife (seems to have three e's) - Kelly & Cole - Lawler & Timpson - Lawlor see Owens - Moran - Moran see Cahan - Murphy - O'Keeffe - Osborne - Owens & Connolly & Lawlor - Owen see - Grattan - Renehan - Smyth - Timpson see Lawler January 08 Clare Co. : BodykeThere is not an awful lot to say about this Church and graveyard, it's easy to find, right there on the Main street as you come into the village. It was raining quite a bit but I managed to take shots of most if not all the stones. They are not that old and there is only one 'can't read' photo which I haven't included in the album. It was one of the Priest's stones and if anyone is ever interested in trying to find out who he was, then feel free to contact me and I can send you a copy of the photo.
I didn't take any photos of the surrounding area because it was raining so much when I was that day in November and the light was beginning to fade
