Rathbran Cemetery
Had to do a bit of thinking on this one as there is the great possibility of mistranscription of dates
Peter Connell died 25th June 1897 not 1879
Mary Connell's administration of Will was in Feb 1918 she could have died Dec 1917
Denis Connell died 8th Oct 1940 not December

so maybe the headstone was erected years later and whoever had mixed up the dates or its just an uncanny coincidence.

Pity, someone went there and just took a photo of "their" stone!!
