Thanks again Hallmark, I will pop into St Paul's cemetery in Collooney next time I'm passing to visit the graves and take a look at the headstones.

I did take some photos there but no Sims

Ok thanks I'll take a look at the site and see.  The photos are great, I wonder are they inscriptions inside the church...

Hi Hallmark,
I contacted Sheila and she very kindly sent me two correspondences which are interesting to say the least....they are a bit personal but as it's so long ago (1890) I'm sure no one will mind if I share it on line....or I could send it to you privately???

Yes, Sheila has some interesting stuff on her site.

If it is personal then maybe just disclose any names/relationships mentioned therein??

Might be polite to ask her permission before you share the information she sent you online  ;)
