Friends at Beara list, Today I got a marvelous letter from our Harrington relatives in Bawrs (thank you Jerome and Moira). And I finally know that our Jack and Catherine Harrington and other are buried in the old graveyard on North Rd. in Castletownbere. Now looking online, I'm seeing a Castletown Berehaven (St. Finian's) and Foildarrig Lower Cemetery. Can anyone let me know which one of these it is? And never stop asking questions. Just wish I could ask about my Jeremiah and Mary Harrington Murphy, but that might take a seance.

Dear Theresa, St. Mary's was the old Castletownbere/Foildarrig Cemetery in the North Road. On the other side of the road, but higher up, is the St. Finian's Cemetery. Jerome Harrington's family, on the hillside in Bawers are the oldest family in Bawers, a townland in the Parish of Eyeries, Beara Peninsula, Co. Cork. Jerome's greatgrandfather, Jack, was one of three brothers who settled in Bawers originally. Jerome himself, one of 15 children, and the only one left in the sheep farm now, is uncle of one of the world's famed golfers, Padraig Harrington. Very best wishes, Riobard (O'Dwyer).
