I visited this cemetery yesterday and should note that the four Curneen graves are all within the ONE surrounding granite border. I am convinced that the four families have erected these headstones within the one buriel plot as they are all connected. Would anyone believe otherwise?

Some of them are fairly recent so maybe contact the Headstone maker and ask if he can pass on a note to kin??

The gravedigger might have records too.

I spoke to the cemetery caretaker today who keep a record of all burials there. Unfortunately, the book he has only goes back to the 1940s
