My ancestors names were William Forsythe and Ann Gillespie who were married in Irish Ommerbane.  Children born in Ommerbane.  I think I have assumed that this is where Ommerbane was.
Could you look up in Newtoncrommelin Graves if either of these names are listed.
William's parents were William Forsythe & Mary Elliott.
Ann's parents were John Gillespie & Sarah Henry.
Thank you, Annie

Whilst there are some burials of folks from the townland you mention, none for surnames you list. There is one Gillespie family group of Martinstown  noted, being

Alexander and Annie Gillespie and children Christina, Willliam, Thomas, Manuel

all died between 1889 and 1928, some further Gillespie burials from 1930-1955 in same plot/s.

Thank you for the Ommerbane reply and Forsythe/Gillespies, May not be of any help, but later Gillespies did come from Martinstown, so think we are on the right track, Thanks again, Annie
