Cemetery (St. Bernard's Cemetery) is located on Albion Road (the West side of Bank St.) heading towards the Rideau-Carleton Race Track/Casino. It is on the left-hand side going towards the Race Track/Casino, perhaps 1/2 a kilometer from Bank St. I think this may be the cemetery you are looking for Al, as some of my Brule relatives were said to be "buried at the Billings Bridge cemetery" and there they were at this one. I am sure there are a "goodly" number of Irish inhabitants. Enjoy. Bill -- "It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others." Wm. G.
