Holier than what?
In my case, assuming I am right, and it is the same guy - Lewis. But Lewis only appears on the grave. And get this - there is another Dominick buried in it, though I believe he died much later.
As another example, I have found a bishop/archbishop named Edward Dominic Murphy, who seems to have sometimes been called Dominic and sometimes Edward.
I thought Dominick might be a particular name of priests. Perhaps, of Dominicans. But Irishgenealogy.ie seems to have a lot of hits for people baptized with the name.
This particular fellow lived during penal times. I considered the idea it could be an alias, but I just don't think it makes any sense.
And I tried pretty hard to explain it that way. But he was mentioned in a will as Dominick, one year before he died.
And I really think it must be the same guy. They were both vicars general. And what, there is like 1-2 in a diocese?And from what I can tell the guy in the grave was a priest in the same parish at the same time.
Here's the grave, I can find no other certain reference to him as "Lewis."
http://www.enfieldgraveyards.com/Gravestone.aspx?GravestoneID=684I'm not a 100% sure, but I assume the inscription dates to much later. Would they say "vicar general", when a bishop was hiding in the same parish in 1704?
