Thanks Christine, visited the graveyard in Armagh last week. Now awaiting more details from the church records. Must get my mother-in-law to take a DNA test next. That would be entertaining. I have her head turned already.

Hi Mark,
Did you get a photo of the grave ? Christine

[Inishanier]

I did. They are on my tree on Ancestry. How do I share it here.

[Inishanier]

Try this.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the great photos of the graves. What is the name of the cemetery where these are ?

I am a little confused on the christian names though. Is Elizabeth Edith HENNESSEY nee LYNAS who died 1952, actually Edith LYNAS who was married to George Newcombe HENNESEY? George's parents were John HENNESEY, the Clerk of the Court of Petty Sessions in Limerick, and Margaret GINNANE.
Cheers,  Christine

St Marks Church of Ireland, Armagh. That is definitely the mother of George William Douglas Newcombe Hennessey. Her father is Robert and that is confirmed on the marriage certificate. All the children's birth certificates show George Newcombe Hennessey living in London as a Journalist. I assume he is also buried there.  He seemed to have been living with his son John from his first marriage to Margaret Delaney in Limerick.
