Fennor graveyard listings booklet

[ozziek]

Hello,
I am hoping to take you up on your "Look-up" offer - if it is still OK at this stage.
I am trying to find details of James and Mary Gleeson who were on the 1901 census at Graiguepadeen. James was gone by 1911 but Mary was still there aged 57.
I am hoping that one or both are in the Fennor cemetery.
Of course, I have no idea of what years your booklet covers but I keep hoping.
Thank you, ozziek

Ozziek,

Below are all of the references to Gleeson. The first part of the book has gravestone inscriptions. The end of the book has a register of internments. The register is probably more complete than the inscriptions, as not all of the stones are legible.

These are two inscriptions that have the name Gleeson.
Section B
1. In Memory of Thomas Moriarty, Urard, died 11th August 1944
His wife Mary died 28th Oct 1944
Their daughter Margaret died 12th May 1912
Mrs. Chris Moriarty (nee Gleeson) died 21st Dec 1973 and her son Joseph who died as an infant
Also Chris Moriarty died 19th Aug 1981
And their son-in-law Sean Hickey died 18th Dec 1994. Aged 60 years
Erected by Christopher Moriarty and Family

Section H
2. Erected by John O'Brien (St. Louis USA) in memory of
his uncle John Gleeson (Graigue)who died Aug 1948
His wife Mary (nee Dunne) died June 1961

The name Gleeson occurs 3 times in the register of internments:
1. John Gleeson
Catholic
Agricultural Labourer
Graigue/Gortnahoe (last residence)
Died 7 Aug 1948
Interred 23 Aug 1948

2.Mrs. Gleeson

3.Mrs. Gleeson

Hope this helps....

Oh my word so I was wrong to presume that Fennor was a COI graveyard mawhtton37?

It's actually both....

The register of internments only goes back as early as 1948. So any names on that list will likely be Catholic. However, the transcriptions include all legible graves in the graveyard. One half (up to 2/3) of the graveyard is Catholic. The other end is COI. There are two structures in the graveyard. On one end is the Catholic Church, and the other is the Protestant Church.

Wow thanks for that info.
I always thought my ancestor buried there was RC!
Much appreciated 😃
