Hello Seanmac,
Do you have any entries for the Hughes surname within your records? I'm interested in a Loughlin Hughes, who died in 1894 aged 82 (Registered in Q.3). I believe he was Roman Catholic seeing as his son was, and the death was registered in the Mountmellick area.
Thanks
Paul
EDIT: He may have resided in the Ballintogher area, based on his son's stated place of origin on the 1911 England Census.

No luck with that one, only Hughes I have from Mountmellick is;
Patrick, who died in 1923, aged 69, and from Castlebrack, and my records from Castlebrack have no Hughes recorded.
Regards,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Do you have any Ward family members on your list? I know that they were farmers at Woodbrook, near Emo/Mountmellick, before leaving for Limerick in the late 1890s. Richard Ward is listed as a farmer at Woodbrook in April 1890 on a birth certificate.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Spencer,
That's a bit to vague, I've over 120 recorded as cemeteries, not surnames, so I would have to check every cemetery and time will not permit that.
If you check Griffiths Valuation it will give you 9 Spencers in Laois.

Hi Jack,
My Walsh ancestors are from Cuddagh. My gr-gr-grandfather was William Walsh born 1884 and moved to Hoboken, New Jersey here in the States. I see from your cemetery list that two of his brothers are listed: I have a Joseph Walsh born abt 1890 in Cuddagh and a Finton Walsh born abt 1894 in Cuddagh.
Are you aware of any Walsh family still in the area?

A check of the local phone book shows no Walsh around that area at the present time. There is a local man who is the Registrar of the local cemetery and he might be of use, but I cannot put his phone number here, so if you contact me by PM I will supply that.

Seanmac,
You are one of the unsung heroes of RootsChat. Everytime I visit the Laois site (and sometimes on my travels through other counties) I come across your posts.
They are a mine of information. Your patience is without end. Thank you for the help and advice you give out so freely.
Dara.
