Title: Achill Sound Cemetery
Post by: kiwi2011 on Saturday 20 May 17 23:57 BST (UK)
I believe this cemetery was named so in the 1980s. Can anyone tell me what the name is today and where it's located?  Thank you.

Only one I can find is Glencoe/Granaghan Cemetery,  Achill Sound.
It has a Facebook page.

I've found another newspaper article that refers to it as Polranny Cemetery. Could they be the same and what address is it?

Don't know the address but it's here

I'll have a look for that other name.

The name isn't marked on the map but searching using Locality brings you to this spot.

This list might interest you, see the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th on the list

Polranny seems the most likely to be known as Achill Sound Cemetery as it's practically in Achill Sound.

This is brilliant hallmark, thanks so much. I wonder if you could help me to find info on Brian Corrigan regarding when he was a member of the old I.R.A?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Brian Corrigan SNR 1900-1987, his son Brian Corrigan JNR. The excerpt states a date of 2010 for the death of Brian Corrigan SNR. The dates don't match up.

Post by: hallmark on Monday 22 May 17 21:41 BST (UK)
Brian Corrigan SNR 1900-1987,....... his son Brian Corrigan JNR. would then not have been JNR!!
Title: Re: Achill Sound Cemetery
Post by: hallmark on Monday 22 May 17 21:43 BST (UK)
Brian Corrigan JNR. becomes Brian Corrigan SNR in 1987
