A success story !  I have just found conclusive proof that Nathaniel Crawford is buried in the graveyard at Mayne Church, Coole.
Locating actual grave sites in old church graveyards is seldom easy but fortunately is not crucial to my current exercise.
I am deeply grateful to everybody who has contributed to my search; without your help my chances of success would be very slim.

Feichin - I would be glad to see your photos. Are you able to post them on this site?

Curious as to how you were able to find the information.

Mayne Church is now closed. The burial records are held by the Representative Church Body (RCB) Library in Dublin.

trevalyn,

I am delighted to hear of your success. I will sort out getting the photos to you (I'm a bit slow with digital stuff). The RCB Library is an excellent resource. Will the CWGC provide a memorial for Nathaniel.

Regards,

Feichin

Kiltaglassan,

As per my previous reply to one of your posts, I note that you have a habit of posting links to easily accessible information, for reasons I don't understand.
