Kerry, Thank you for your email regarding the TIERNEY / TEARNEY plots. From our investigation of the headstones in question (which are extremely hard to read), TEARNEY is the name carved into the stone. The phonetic nature of spelling in the 19th century appears often in early burials in cemeteries, however the task is to transcribe what the headstone records. Additional information can always be noted. Using the two other transcriptions undertaken on this cemetery in 1954 & 1984, both of which have also identified the name TEARNEY. It would be worth while confirming the information for the burials in the St Matthews Catholic Church Registers are available on microfilm from the State Library of NSW, SAG & Windsor Library (a transcription for these registers can be found online at http://www.hawkesbury.net.au/church/stmatthewscatholic_windsor.html ) Bearing in mind that the records covering this period 1875-1908 appear to be missing and unavailable. Despite thorough searching by St. Matthew's Catholic Church, Windsor & St. Monica's Catholic Church, Richmond; Hawkesbury City Council Library and the Catholic Archives, St. Marys Cathedral, Sydney they have not been located to date. A death certificate both William and Ann should confirm their dates of death and location of burial due to the fact that they are recorded after 1856 when registering BDM became compulsory. A quick check of the transcribed burial registers excluding the period from 1875-1908, indicates that there are no burials for the surname TEARNEY, however there is a death for a MARY TEARNEY registered in 1871 from Windsor according the NSW BDM site.

(this is hard to read) I think the headstone photo for William Tearney is that of William Tierney, I am hoping so.
