Fortune of Bunargat(e)
« on: Monday 01 July 13 00:51 BST (UK) »
Can some kind soul please provide information on the memorial inscription for the Fortune family of Bunargat/Bunargate Co. Wexford - I believe this was transcribed by Mr. Cantwell.
Thanks,
Wexflyer

Just bumping this question again - anyone? Bunargate is near Carne, in the SE of the County.
Thanks!

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.

Is it a Church of Ireland cemetery?  There are a bunch of Fortunes in Ladys Island.

Do you know the name of the cemetery?  Do you have a 1st name?

Thank you so much! Maryann Potts is the link to my line - she was a sister of my g-g-...grandmother. Can you say which graveyard these inscriptions are from?

Yes, I did look at the Wills and Admons index. I located the will of the James Fortune mentioned above. James died 25th July 1878, in Wexford, described as a gentleman, leaving his estate to his great-nephew, Aidan Crean. I descend from a sister of Aidan Crean.
The will index entry is at
http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/reels/cwa/005014894/005014894_00539.pdf
Of course one has to look up the actual will separately. I will have to do that for Peter Fortune's will also, which I had missed - thank you. [Note that the valuation on a will can be very misleading, as it does not include  the value of land and some other items - the actual will gives a very different impression than the "under 100 pound" valuation in the index.]
