Hi, This is my first post, I will be in Kildare in March and I would like to find the
grave of my g.grandfather, John O'Neill, my grandfather is from Ballymore Eustace, and a cousin tells me to get to the graveyard you have to go through a field so it's not just along the road side.
My cousin cannot remember the name of the graveyard. my grandfather's name was John O'Neill b1875-1969 and after he married he lived in Naas and
I believe my mother Mary O'Neill and siblings were born in Naas, in a house next door to
The Leinster Leader. any help would be great.
Thank you in advance
Mags.

Hi Billiejo, that would be wonderful, I remember my mum pointing out
the house as we passed in the bus.
Their names were John O'Neill /wife Margaret. kids, Annie (sis) James (Jim)
Josephine and Mary, at some time they moved to Dublin.
My Son is getting married in Naas in March, because they like the Killashee for the reception. they had a look at what they though was the house and said there is a plaque outside with they think said S O'Kelly.(second President) if this is right and turns out to be Sean T. O'Kelly, well there is a bit of a connection to him in my family, but did not take a photo
so I cannot wait to get there and have a look
Many thanks for any help at all.
Mags.

Informent says that 'House' was sandwiched between two shops, Gogarties & Bushells. The latter was burnt down by the 'Black & Tans' and after being derelict long term was purchased by the Leinster Leader. (LL)
Informent will investigate further but has suggested that the premises you refer too was occupied in by the manager of the Leinster Leader. ?? person you seek?
If true then (LL) could be worth a try also.

Hello Billiejo,
Do you know if there's a body in Ireland who put plaques on the outside of houses?
In the north the Ulster History Circle select properties for the Blue Plaques Scheme.
In England the Scheme has been running for over 140 years and is one of the oldest of its kind in the world. They have three colours ... Black, Blue and Red. I would have thought
that there might be a similar Scheme in Ireland but Google isn't showing anything. www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.1495

go into the village of ballymore you will see the church on your left hand side take the left turn after the church which will bring you to the square turn left again .you will see the school on the right and turn left there. that is the coughlanstown road. drive out that road for about 3 miles and you will see a bungloe with manicured hedges on the left hand side on a bad bend .about 500 yards after the bend you will see a gate on the left stop there and walk across the field to the graveyard
