Sorry, I missed this as I was away last week.

Bridget died on the 7th October 1897 and was buried in private grave #1665B (the plot next to her parents grave) at Bilston Cemetery on the 12th October, following a burial service recorded in the burial register of Holy Trinity Church.

From memory, I don't think that there is a memorial on that grave, and the memorial on her parents' grave only mentions the two most recent burials in that plot, those of my grandparents, James and Agnes McDonough.  Bridget was the oldest child and James (my grandfather) the youngest of a large family.

Sorry, just reread your original question.

John was buried in the same grave in March 1906 and I think there may be some of their children in that grave too.  I will try to find my records.

The other occupants of the Concannon grave in Bilston Cemetery appear to be their daughter Catherine, who died in 1896, and two grandsons, John (died 1913, aged 4) and Joseph (died 1918, aged 4) (sons of James and Annie?).

Hi mickpepper3.

we are indeed second cousins once removed, and, now that you have posted three messages, I can send you a private message with my email address so that I can send you more details of the information that I have.

The graves are along a path, in a central area of the cemetery but I wil send you a copy of the cemetery map with the plots approximately marked on it.  The staff at the cemetery have been very helpful in helping me to find the graves.
