Hi Wexflyer
The Lady at Wexford BC stated they hold the Registers of Internments only - they don't hold the old Burial Registers, so my understanding is that they have been deposited with the Wexford County Archive at Ardcavan. There was a note on theit website a while back stating they were going to include the Crosstown Burial Register alongside the existing registers for the Wexford Town Municiple registers, but it hasn't happened to date.
The earliest Crosstown burial register 1892 - 1907 (Ref: WBC/CEM/6/1) was available as a PDF doc which I downloaded from a website at the time but I'm unsure if it's still available. (It should ideally be on the Archives website.)
I'm not sure what years the next Register covers but I believe the Register which includes 1916 was fire damaged. Years ago, I visited the old WBC offices in Hill St & tried to get a copy of an entry in the year 1916 but was told it was too fragile to photo-copy and they could only provide a transcription. (a copy of the Register of Internments for that year was available).
Ps - You posted a great copy of the grave numbers in Section Q of the cemetery; would you happen to have a copy of the other old Catholic section, Section L? I would like to see if there's a Headstone or a marker for the Walsh grave for Rattler.
Cheers
