Ballyea South Cemetery Questions
« on: Wednesday 24 September 14 02:59 BST (UK) »
I am SO excited right now!
A fellow member of a genealogy group who lives in Ennistymon has located the crypt of my great great grandmother in the Ballyea South Cemetery.

I am including pictures she has taken of the crypt and its inscription.

Does anyone know anything about this cemetery?

I would like to contact someone to ask if anyone else is also buried within this crypt..

My great great grandfather who had erected the crypt died two years later so I wonder where he is, if not there.

The Clare Library has posted the transcriptions from this cemetery
http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ptions.htm
But only from 1942 .....

The kind woman who took these pictures said that this is a very small cemetery and only TWO graves have inscriptions, Reily & Doherty.

So ~ are there TWO separate Ballyea South Cemeteries?

Why do you think a prominent resident of Ennistymon (Woodpark or Woodmount House) be buried at Ballyea and not in Ennistymon?

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
