Graveyards in Kilmurry Ibrickan parish
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 3:57 pm
I have been trying to work out where to find transcriptions for four different similarly-named and multiply-named graveyards all located close together between the villages of Mullagh and Quilty in Kilmurry Ibrickan(e) civil parish in west Clare:
1. one in Shandrum townland called Kilmurry at
http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,501931,673281,7,7
and also called Kilmurry Graveyard at
http://www.kibparish.ie/map/
with transcriptions at
http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ptions.htm
and
http://www.interment.net/data/ireland/c ... /index.htm
Liz Haren has confirmed to me that this was the one from which she posted photographs and inscriptions under the title "Mullagh-Quilty Graveyard" which are available at
http://web.archive.org/web/200802291000 ... eyard.html
but seem to have disappeared from the live web where they should have migrated to igp-web.com.
2. one in Finnor More townland adjoining St. Mary's Church at
http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,504640,673122,7,3
and called Mullagh Graveyard at
http://www.kibparish.ie/map/
but from which I can find no online transcriptions.
3. another in Finnor More townland called Kylebreedia at
http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,504226,672717,7,7
and called Kilbridget Graveyard at
http://www.kibparish.ie/map/
with transcriptions at
http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ptions.htm
4. one in Quilty West townland adjoining what Ordnance Survey Ireland calls "St. Michael's Church" but is really Our Lady Star of the Sea Church at
http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,501584,674804,7,3
but called Quilty Graveyard at
http://www.kibparish.ie/map/
with transcriptions (describing it as Seafield Graveyard) at
http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ptions.htm
The oldest inscription here dates only to 1965.
As (a) there are numerous graveyards in Kilmurry parish, (b) Kilmurry Catholic parish and Kilmurry civil parish have different boundaries, (c) there are two other Kilmurry parishes elsewhere in the county but (d) there is only one Shandrum in Clare, I think it would probably be less ambiguous to always refer to no.1 above as "Kilmurry Graveyard in Shandrum townland" and use similar precise and unambiguous descriptions for the others!
I suspect that Mullagh Graveyard in Finnor More (no.2) may be of a similar vintage (c.1960s) to Quilty Graveyard in Quilty West (no.4).
Can anyone direct me to online transcriptions of Mullagh Graveyard in Finnor More (no.2) to complete the set?
