Hi Bolton,
Apologies , but it took me much longer than I expected to get up to the area where you believe Raymond Smyth/Smith lived in. What I found was that the records in the Meath County Library in Navan for the Kells Workhouse consisted of Minute Books, which listed in great detail the finances of the workhouse but unfortunately only listed the number of people entering and leaving it each week, including of course deaths. But people were not identified by name. So poor old Raymond .
However I found Moybolgue graveyard and it is a beautiful old place with ruins of a medieval or earlier church and very well looked after. I found 8 or 9 headstones with Smith names on them.
Some are very easy to read, others can barely be made out.
Some may well be related to Raymond but without any church records it will be difficult to see which. I will test my technology skills to the limit and try and put up one picture in a following post, but if you send me a PM giving an email address, I will give you access to a folder on Dropbox, where you can see (and download if you wish) all the photos of Moybolgue Graveyard.
Good luck with your continued hunt.
