If only I knew one existed (sigh). I know they are buried somewhere but suspect they do not have a stone. However......I'd hate to think they are hiding behind the hydrangeas all this time. I have several cousins who would be out with the shears!

Reckon they weren't shrinking Violets anyway!! :-)) Indeed, even if one got a partial photo they can then ask someone for a better photo! It's the knowing that's important, you'd be delighted if someone photographed one of yours even if it was obscured as it can then be photographed by someone as you know where it exists! Recently I was looking up stuff for Manorhamilton 1820 death.. I have g/stone photographed but the stone isn't all that legible, the person who I was helping now knows exactly where to go, that a g/stone exists plus the 2 other Cemeteries to go to incl one in Sligo when she visits next year. She has been searching for over 12 years and now has photos from IGP.... IF she wasn't visiting I'd get full transcription etc next time I'm passing... as we know there's g/stones!
