Hi and thanks for the website. I am having trouble with my Irish  sides so thought I would give it a try. I'm afraid the price is a little steep. It costs 4 pounds for four credits and to see a full inscription is 4 credits. I'm thinking the Irish will just have to stay lost for  now.  lol  Donna

Be careful with this service. I once did the free lookup, ordered and paid for the MI and never received anything. I contacted someone to follow up, but nothing ever happened. I never got my refund, nor the MI. It is difficult to follow up with these people and I even felt it was a scam. At the time there was no customer service. Perhaps that has improved, but I had to give up at the time.

Brian J. Cantwell privately published eleven volumes of memorial transcriptions (mostly to 1880) from Dublin (south), Wexford and Wicklow as well as a number of others some of which were published in various journals and the rest are unpublished. The volumes are available in all major archives and libraries in Dublin as well as the county and branch libraries of Wexford and Wicklow. A copy of the Clare memorials is held by the Clare Genealogical Centre.

Regarding children’s burial grounds there are major differences across Ireland. To my knowledge they are very common in west Mayo but there is only one in Wexford and none in Wicklow.

With apologies for the tables not being in line. They look fine in the message box but the format does not transfer properly to the board.

I hope this is of interest and covers all points brought up by previous correspondents

Sorry if I repeating info
There is a fairly new site for gravestones eachtra.ie they are still recording so not too many places online yet.
They have images of the headstones move you cursor over it and you can read the inscription.
Haven't fully checked it out but I know they have recorded the old graves in New Abbey Kilcullen Co. Kildare.
If you want to check all the grave in one graveyard simply tick that grave yard scroll below the map and you can work you way through each grave.

Another good site for FREE headstone photos and transcriptions is

    http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/cork/index.htm  that's the Cork link
but lots of other counties covered. 

Photos and transcriptions done by volunteers.

Somebody somewhere must be making lots of money on some of those paying sites.

So it is great that the igp site is free ( glad to be a contributor!!!)
