Hi,

Pakenham-Walsh of Rowner Glebe appears in Burkes Landed Gentry 1952.
You may find the Capt. in this. A member of this family who was I think was in the forces or police died in Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising in the early 1950s. Maybe the Captain?

It's possible that Capt. F.W. Pakenham-Walsh was married to a lady from the church and that's why he was buried there. Unfortunate no date on the memorial but suggest you contact the rector of St. Mark's and ask if an entry can be found in the burial register. Once you get a date of burial (and possibly a residence) it will likely be easier to trace this person.

Ray The Captain you are referring to is Capt Eric KAR wrong branch of the family.

Aghadowey thanks for your help, the church records show no details so far, there is Rev W Pakenham-Walsh who may be the father or relative of FW Pakenham-Walsh from Armagh Guardian 1960-80s!!
