That's great news Damsel.
I hope there are other members living in Kildare who may be able to help you.
I know there are several members in the Belfast area as we send the occasional
messages to each other but in many areas of Ireland it's hard to tell if someone
is living in the area. I am noticing this as I am doing my best to organise the
Meet in Dublin. Perhaps those living close to Damsel would consider posting her
a PM if they are able to assist as I feel she will get quite a few messages
Chris

Hi John , Kill is about 50 kilometres from me on the road into Dublin. Its a very pretty little village now bypassed by a new motorway. the Church of St Johns is now a "Church of Ireland" church as all protestant churches became know here. The records for Births ,deaths and Marraiges would be held at the church but are also held in the National Archives of Ireland in Dublin, http://www.nationalarchives.ie/
as are the Estate records so you would get the tenants rent rolls etc there for Bishops Court Estate which still exists but is not open to the public so must be privately owned still as far as i can tell. woth your while to post for a lookup there I know lots of rootschtters spend a lot of time in both the archives and Library and are usually very willing to do lookups.
http://www.irisharchitecture.com/buildings_ireland/kildare/naas/bishops_court.html
I will post you another message in a few minutes with some links on the village of Kill, the Bishops court estae etc that I hope you enjoy also there is a preservation group for St Johns I will give you their contact details and I'm sure they will also be very helpful for you in the meantime but I will take your information and a camera with me on my next trip through to Dublin next week and see what I can come up with for you with regards to graves, if you get any more information on them in the meantime let me know regards Damsel

Hi Again PJC , I called to St John's Cemetry this afternoon after hunting it down, for future reference it is quite small and located behind a shop called Shaws just off the main street in Athy. There is only one small Iron Gate and it is kept locked but I am told that there are community workeres working there on and off tidying it up andI had just missed them and they would be back from lunch at 2 I waited for them to come back till half but no luck they must have decided to know off early being Friday and all.
I will check again on Monday and if necessary "Charm" my way inside for you , honestly the things we root chatters will do for each other, giggles  but otherwise have a few leads as to to where I can obtain the key for the gate so "A hunting I will go" on Monday, have a nice weekend regards Damsel

Damsel,
My GG and GGG grandfather's were both named Adam Talbott (often misspelt Turbett -in Griffiths, or Torbet in other areas). The first died in 1877 and the second in 1881. Both were from Glenbawn, Burtown, just east of Athy. They were not Catholics , possibly CoI or Presbyterian. The original Adam came from Scotland. I cannot find where they were buried only the death dates and location of the farm on which they lived. They leased the farm from the Duke of Leinster.
I would be really interested in any info on when they came to Ireland, the circumstances, and where they are buried. If you come across any info I would be most greatful.
Rory Talbot
