Those of you who know me, know that I have been transcribing gravestones mainly in the County Laois or Queen's County area since about 1998.  Some of you know that today I photograph the gravestones and some of you have seen me say that there are stones which I could read in the past which I cannot read or find today.

Some of you know that I have indexed the names of the Heads of Household listed in the 1901 census for county Laois.

Some of you know that much of the material on any of my web sites is unavailable anywhere outside of Ireland - and some of you know that I have much more material than you see on any of my web sites. 

So, I am going to try and bring some more of what I have on-line.

Below, is a transcription of some gravestones in Aghmacart or Aughmacart, Co. Laois, Ireland.  These stones were read in 1999.  Back then, I was following recommendations for Irish genealogists - that only those stones which had dates pre 1880 should be read, and some others with older dates.  Sometimes, when in a graveyard if it was very small I used to read all the stones.

I still have tapes for some graveyard which have not been written up - because I can never find the time!

Listed below this transcription are the URL's for my Aghmacart gravestone photographs, a name index created using the photographs and my 1901 census heads of household for this parish.

Maybe this will help someone.

All of this material was transcribed by me alone.

Regards,
Jane

Still cleaning up my folders and still with Kildare county.  I've loaded the photos I have of gravestones taken in the county council graveyard outside Kildare town.  It's a big graveyard and needless to say I didn't take photographs of all the stones in it.  Also, it's an active graveyard, meaning that people are still being buried in it.  It's an older graveyard in the vicinity that I'd be more interested in getting photographs for!

 

I've not gone through these photos and indexed them the way I am doing with Kilkenny and Laois.  I've simply named each photo as per the surnames on the stone and I've divided them up into two albums.

 

 

 

The thing is that lots of times different surnames appear on a stone so if you do find any photos with your surname of interest be sude to check the names on the photos in the second album to see if that surname occurs on any other stones.

 

Jane

I'm doing a clean up of my desktop and all the different back ups I have and have come across a bunchof Kildare graveyards.

 

So, Kilberry Church of Ireland Graveyard, Co. Kildare is the first set I've worked my way through.  I'm not indexing these, just giving the photographs names per the names on the stones.

 

I photographed every stone that was standing or could be accessed in this graveyard.  Some can't be read, and I've alos loaded those plus photos of the church to my From Ireland web site and they can be seen at: http://www.from-ireland.net/kild/graves/kilbcoi/index.htm

 

Jane

Am down the country at the moment and set out to go to Tipperary the other day to photograph some graveyards I haven't been to - had myself a list and all....

 

Except, y'know the way it goes "the best laid plans of mice and men" - I had to go to Kilkenny before I went to Tipperary and then, en route to Clonmel, I turned off the road to take a look at just one Kilkenny graveyard - and then, after that one one my way back to the main road, there was another graveyard and sure I couldn't just drive past it and then there was another one, I skipped number four cos it was a modern graveyard.

 

By the time I got back to the main road I have photographs from Ballycallan, Kilballykeeffe and Grove (which is close to Acaroe townland) - all in the area of Cuffesgrange - about 600 photos.

 

By the time I'd done all of those, my back was killing me and I set off back for home in Laois.

 

Used up half a tank of petrol - and speaking of which, all of this taking photographs in gravestones is all very well, I don't mind the time given to naming the photos or the indexing of them *but* when I think about how much it costs me in petrol etc I just wonder why bother.  I'm getting nowhere and it's costing me a fortune.

 

I've got Google advertisements on From Ireland and on Laois Genealogy and on Kilkenny Genealogy.  Google has even an advertisement set on my Irish Sights & Sites blog (which I don't give an awful lot of time to) and Google pays me a few cent every time one of my visitors clicks on one of the Google Ads and visits the advertised web site.  I don't get much money out ot if, but - it helps pay for the petrol - *except* it doesn't pay for all the petrol in any month!

 

I just wish that anyone who visited any of my sites would just visit one of those Google advertisements.  Magazines and Newspapers 'support' themselves by charging for advertising - people pay money to buy them and then they see the ads.  It would really be nice if I could get through one month - or, preferably every month where it wasn't my money going out to pay for my petrol.  I'm thinking that maybe I'm finally geting sense and I'm thinking of giving it up.

 

Maybe today is just a blue day - the weather is lovely outside maybe my mood will change before the day is up.

 

I'm adding a photo here, taken the other day when I was looking for a graveyard.  It's just an example of the kind of road - really a lane, that I travel along sometimes in search of a graveyard.  Actually, once they get like this, I usually turn round and go back if I can't see the graveyard in the vicinity!

I forgot to give the URL for the photographs of the gravestones which can be read that I took in Castlecomer Roman Catholic Graveyard!!

 

I've sorted the photographs alphabetically and also created a name index showing the years of death and giving the name of the stone on which any surname is to be found.  You know the way sometimes you'd find for eg the surname McGrath on a stone for which the primary surname began with A.  So anyone looking for Mcgrath from Castlecomer mightn't think to look at other stones  with different surnames.

 

Surnames A-B are at : http://www.kilkennygenealogy.com/graves/comer/index.htm

Surnames C-D at: http://www.kilkennygenealogy.com/graves/comer/cdnames.htm

Surnames E-L:  http://www.kilkennygenealogy.com/graves/comer/elnames.htm

Surnames M:  http://www.kilkennygenealogy.com/graves/comer/mnames.htm

Surnames N-W: http://www.kilkennygenealogy.com/graves/comer/nwnames.htm

 

and then once you find the surname you are looking for you just follow the link to the photograph pages

 

The whole graveyard has not been indexed - I'm missing some of the stones at the back of the church.

 

I have so many blogs at this stage I could be going round in circles if I allowed myself!

 

This one though - it's primarily about graveyards and gravestones and so it will remain.  The thing is, like the blogs, I've got so much material that I never knew where to being.  Some of it is stuff I collected a couple of years ago, back then after a servious bout of photographing I knew that I had over 10,000 gravestone/church/scenic photographs from all the places I've been to.  Mainly counties Laois, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Offaly, Carlow, Kildare, Dublin - but then, no matter where I go, I take photograhs of gravestones, so I have material from other counties as well.

 

Recently, I realised that aloong with this MSN site comes an MSN blog - or, something like that - and that somehow, I've managed to acquire contacts on it - mostly people I knew who had found my addy in their address books and requested to be my friend, or put me as their contact and I may or may not have approved them not knowing what I was doing it for - - anyway, doesn't matter.  This blog and the MSN whatever it is are going to be and remain all about graveyards :-)

 

I'm just sitting here, been looking at my Tipperary material this morning cos I photographed a new Tipperary graveyard a few weeks back and had only just loaded the photographs to my puter, when I wondered how much of my Tipperary stuff is on line - so, I took a look at what's on my lap top hard drive in current folders, the folder from my old lap top hard drive, the back up material on my external hard drive (which I think is what is on my main PC) - and now my head *is* spinning!!

 

It would be nice to have time to create indices for all these graveyards like I  have begun with those on my Kilkenny Genealogy and Laois Genealogy web sites but it's not possible cos I want to get my indexing for those counties finished.  So, Tipperary and other counties will have to be just photographs, with maybe surname and placename indexes as well to help people along.  Maybe some nice person would like to do the indexing for me and surprise me with lists!

 

Anyway, somewhere along the way in one of these blogs on this site, I said I was going to keep my photos for other counties on From Ireland, or else the Kilkenny or Laois sites and so I will.  Photographs which can't be easily read will be loaded to this site and then lists of names also on this site.  I'm thinking maybe too, I could be  abit more active as regards blogging on this site, in that I could keep track of which places I've been to - write a bit about them before I ever get round to naming the photos, indexing them and creating web pages with them.  That way, alnyone who checks out this blog, who is interested in gravestones from  a particular place might see that I've been to the place, tell me they are interested and maybe I might get to those photos quicker.

 

Usually, it takes a couple of hours to photograph a graveyard, but then it can take a week to name the photos, another week to index them and a day or so to create the web pages!

 

Jane

I'm calling this the new graveyard, it's not so new, but it is the current graveyard for Portlaoise.  The earliest date on this set of photographs is 1894.

 

The graveyard is very big, divided into blocks and as is usual with graveyards the stones only lie in 'kind of' rows - meaning they are not nice straight sets of rows within the blocks.  Anyway, I'm breaking the photographs up into different sets and I don't know how many parts this graveyard is going to have.  Indexing photographs as in giving them names per the names on them takes a good while, about a week and then creating an index file with the names on my photographs takes another day or two - and then this time, I've added a different type of index to my web pages, in this new index, I give the name of the person, the year of death, placename if given and the stone reference number - that's another days work.  I'm not sure if it's worth it though - for me it isn't, and there is never any feedback on these photographs except when someone wants a copy of one or wants to know what the information is on the stone, so, I may or may not put the time into creating this type of indec again.  It might prove handy for someone though. 

 

As I say, this is just the first part, more to come. 

Quite often, when you go out looking for what might be a graveyard and is simply marked as a church on the Ordnance Survey map, then all you find is a wall, maybe even just a bit of a wall, covered in ivy.  Sometimes, you follow the 'path' or 'road' as shown on the Ordnance Survey map and you just come to a dead end.

 

Recently, I was looking for an old church as marked on a current Discovery Series ordnance survey map, now this church was close to a castle.  I followed the 'path' which was supposed to lead to the castle and came to a dead end.  Then, I spotted a wall in the distance, up a hill.........so I went through the fields to see what the wall might lead me to.  Old walls tell you that there was something there, it might have been a big old house, it may have been a castle, it may have been a church - but somewhere around when you see these old walls then you know that something was or is there.

 

Anyway, I found something.  Having studied my OS map a bit more, I now know that it most likely was the castle, but, here are the photos and you can see the kind difficulty someone can have trying to decide whether or which when they find what's left of whatever it was!!

 

 

 

 

It took me a while to find this graveyard even though it seems to be nicely enough marked on the Ordnance Survey Map!

 

It's close to Clonaslee, on the Offaly side just off the Birr road I think it was, out in the middle of nowhere and almost on the border of the two counties. The remnants of the old church are totally covered in ivy, though on one side of it the ivy is dead.  The graveyard was pretty overgrown the day I was there.  There were the usual steps in the wall to get into the graveyard and there is a nice little kind of castellated section remaining on the church beside the grave of Peter Murphy.

 

As usual these days, I'm putting the photos which I can't read on this site and the ones which van be read on my Laois Genealogy web site.  The URL for the photos which can be read is

 

I've sortted the surname list for the stones to show which stone to go to when a surname occurs as a secondary surname on the stone.  So, I hope that will make it a bit easier for people to find the photos with their family names on them. 

 

The church in this graveyard was dedicated to St. Fintan of Clonenagh and the oldest stone I could read is dated 1737 for Denis Hyland.  I imagine that the stones I have labelled as Hyland or Ryland is another Hyland stone!

 

The church and graveyard are located close to a Holy well for which I also have photos, and down a wee road which is close to another road which is close to the new motorway being run through Laois!  I'm placing the photos which I couldn't read on this web site and all the photos which I could fully read on my Laois Genealogy web site http:www/:laoisgenealogy.com  so, on this site some of the photos do carry the surnames but I need to go back and look at them again

 

All in all there are 155 names spread through approx 40 surnames.  Surnames occurring on the stones are as follows: Brophy - Browne, also see Mulloney & O'Neill -  Campion, also see O'Neill - Cass see Delany  - Connor - Conroy - Corcoran - Delaney, also see Parkinson - Delany - Dooley - Dowling - Dunn, also see Connor -Fitzpatrick, also see Conroy - Gowen - Grady see O'Dwyer - Harris - Hyland - Hyland or Ryland - Kavanagh, also see O'Connor - Keenan - Keys - Lalor - Loughnane -
Maher - McEvoy - Moloney - - Mooney - Mulloney - O'Connor - O'Dwyer - O'Neill - Parkinson - Phelan - Stone.

 

Placenames mentioned are Aghabo - Bridge st., Mountrath - Cash or Gash? - Clonard, Mountrath - Clonareen, Mountrath - Cloncough, Kilbricken - Cromogue - Derrough - Derry Conn - Derrycanton - Forest, Mountrath - Kilbricken - Killeany - Maryville, Borris in Ossory - Parkavilla - Roskelton - Shanahoe - Shannon st., Mountrath - Spa Hill -  Portlaoise - Trumera, Mountrath

and all in County Laois.

 

The photographs of the stones which I could read, and some of which are carried here with names are at :

 

and maybe someone with a bit more time on their hands and computer savvy as regards manipulating photos can do a bit better with the ones I can't read which I am putting on this web site.  If that happens, please be sure to let me know.

 

Thanks

Jane

I remember being confused as to which county this graveyard was in but now I know it's Laois, although the civil parish is spread through Laois and Kilkenny.  The graveyard itself is in the village of Attanagh and at the time of the townlands directory (1851) and the Griffiths Valuation there was no village called Attanagh in Ireland!  Griffiths shows the Church & Graveyard as being in the townland of 'Glebe'.

 

Today, this is a village, small.........but pretty.  St. Brigid's Church is quite worn and when I visited quite overgrown in spots.  Grass at the front had been cut, but not at the back.  There are not that many legible headstones and a good few of my photos were taken of one family plot. The surnames in that plot include Warren, Butler, Shuldham.

 

I'm loading some of the unreadable photographs to this site - only about three sets.  I've left the original image numbers as taken by my camera on them, but indicate which 'set' they are with numbers 1,2,3... before the image number.

 

The rest of the gravestone photographs, including those which I was unable to read but could make out a surname on to my Laois Genealogy web site

 

Surnames found on the stones in St. Bridget's Church of Ireland graveyard, Attanagh, Co's Laois and Kilkenny, Ireland: Butler - Cantwell - Curry - Doonan - Dudley - Ebbs - English - Grant - Harvey - Hopkinson - Lancaster - Lowry - Maxwell - Morton - Murison - Nixon - Rollins - Ruddoch - Ruddock  - Seale - Shuldham - Smith - Thorpe - Warren - Whiteford - Wills

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:

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.

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.

 

Surnames found on these stones : Bergin - Bradish - Brereton - Burke - campion - Carter - Conroy - Cooper - Cornelious - Coughlan - Drennan - Edward?s - Fitzgerald
Fitzpatrick - Flood - Harding - Haswell - Hipwell - Hyland - Leigh - Mitchell - Murphy - Palmer - Phelan - Pim - Sawyer - Selby - Sharp - Vousden - Ward

Placenames found on stones in this graveyard:
Ballytarsna, Borris in Ossory - Drim - Laurel Hill - Mountrath - Roundwood - Tinnakill
