Kilmacanogue Cemetery
« on: Monday 26 December 11 11:07 GMT (UK) »
If anyone had cuase to visit Kilmacanogue Cemetery, could you photograph a headstone/grave for me?

I believe the grave number to be 94:  the inscription reads

In Loving Memory | of | my dear husband | LEO P. WICKHAM | died
9th Nov. 1960 | aged 60 years | also his beloved wife | RUTH
ISOBEL | died 27th Feb. 1985 | R.I.P. | "Thy Will be Done" |
Erected by his loving wife and sons.

Many thanks

they have headstone transcriptions and photos - you have to scan through the photos to find the one that matches the number.

 Kilmacanogue "New" Cemetary
   Transcription - part 1
   Photos - part 1

here's the Wicklow headstones homepage , and the IGP homepage.

I think the numbers are references used by the IGP to keep track, rather than official grave numbers.

You are quite right Shane.   
I am just writing to confirm that we number photos and inscriptions to match, so that folk can easily find a photo if they have found an inscription of interest, and vice versa.    They are not grave numbers.   
I am pleased to see that the work we did at Kilmacanogue has helped someone.

thanks for all the hard work with these - I have some Kilmacanogue connections, and you've documented a few of mine there also.

One of my gt-uncles was a long serving chairman of the GAA club, and it's  now named after him..

Good to hear that too!  It was a nice cemetery to do - all in good order.  I would love to get back into the old Kilmacanogue Cemetery but it is kept locked.  We had completed a day in the "new" cemetery and found the gate open to the Old one, so managed to grab a few there too.
Perhaps in 2012 I shall get around to asking for the key for a day!  Pray for some good weather this coming Spring and Summer !
We could do with some more help, so anyone reading this and interested please get in touch

I've been in the old cemetery a few times, two out of three Sunday mornings when I went it was unlocked.

Let me know if you get to organize something, and if I'm available I'll chip in..

That would be great.   Morning time is best as most headstones face east.  If you wish to leave me some contact details by contacting me direct, please do so.   My email address is on IGP pages.
I doubt if weather will be o.k. before about April.
