Have you ever considered that the Irish were buried great distances from where they lived, Some folk lived in Dublin and were returned to Carlow to be buried and I am not talking about yesterday, I am talking on the mid 1800's etc. A wife can be found buried within her parents parish and not within her husbands parish, same must apply to males who died somewhere distant from where you seek them. There is any amount of reasons that a person is not necessarily buried in the closest cemtery to where they died, and depending on time frame, regulations on the church etc, you may even find them in mixed graveyards And yes my own data base has flaws, but my weathered old brow, has done a lot of research in Irish Burial books, registers and headstones and my knowledge has been hard earned. So please do consider when looking for Irish people they are not all buried exactly as we wish, in the graveyard closest to the farm etc. Its a case of yes the last piece of the puzzle is the hardest to find sometimes in Irish research And while I am at it I may as well ask the age old question What was the name of the Graveyard - someone may be able to define where it is or was from even a few clues.
