Jean~       You are quite correct re: Catholic and Protestant burials in the same cemetery.  In County Wexford, Duncormick cemetery which surrounds the church has both.  Over the centuries the church changed denomination according to the political climate.  When we were seeking graves of family, this was relayed to us.  Currently it is Catholic.  The graveyard has been lovingly restored with placement of stones attempted on the correct plots.  The church interior and exterior has been restored too..   Mary Ellen Chambers --- On Sat, 1/17/09, Jean R. <jeanrice@cet.com> wrote: From: Jean R. <jeanrice@cet.com> Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Valuation Office (Dublin) - Looking for Cemeteries (Graveyards) in Ireland To: IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, January 17, 2009, 5:17 PM Hi Pete - Yes - that is the reference book I was thinking of. Thanks for sharing! Are you in a deep freeze over there where you live? I've also heard that in some instances Catholics were buried in Protestant graveyards.
