This project to record all the details on the memorials in the grave yard was started in 1996 with photographs
by Peter Joslin, the data was never fully checked but has been added here to aid researches in this area.
It is hoped to revisit the burial grounds and update the data to our new digital format soon.
Below is an alphabetical list of the names found in 1996, the Year in brackets is the Burial year.
Paddy Buckley (one of our valued members) also transcribed a large section of the burial registers,
In all 2,000 persons are recorded for the period 1725 - 1867, an index can be found on the N.B.I.
I hope to add the records to this webpage in due course
