Can SKS please tell me if there is an ancient cemetery at ?Dover in County Cavan and exactly where it is and if so, do they know if the headstone's have been subscribed and where I could find the data? Thanks. Barbara -- Barbara Morton Sandspit, Warkworth, NZ

Barbara - I do not find a townland called Dover in Cavan. I notice that you have placed a question mark next to the name; I do not know your source for this, but perhaps you can look at in light of the following: Based on my search of townlands with "over" and "ove" the only one that makes any sense is: Townland: Crover Acres: 389 Barony: Clanmahon Civil Parish: Ballymachugh PLU: Cavan I note the following at: http://www.irelandoldnews.com/Cavan/1856/DEC.html Anglo-Celt Published in Cavan, county Cavan December 11, 1856 December 3d, at his residence, near Virginia, county Cavan, Mr. Henry MULVANY, father of the Rev. Thomas Mulvany, Cavan, and Rev. Henry Mulvany, Bacup, England. After solemn offices for the dead and high Mass - which was sung by the Rev. John M'ENROE, Cavan, in his usual sweet and solemn tones - his remains were conveyed to the family burial ground, in the ancient Cemetery of Dover (?). The funeral was attended by many of the neighbouring Priests, and a large number of the laity of all classes. The deceased was in his 72nd year. Note that Dover here also has a question mark. There is currently a project that is transcribing the Celt... perhaps they can review the name in light of the name Crover... You may also wish to check the following source: Sullivan, M., The Graveyards of County Cavan - A Survey, Cavan-Monaghan Rural Development Co-op Society Ltd., May 1998.

Good morning... I typed the article that went into the Archives, however, upon checking the photocopy I worked from - the word is still illegible. There is a space between the DO and the next letter so I may be missing part of a letter or an entire letter. The reason for the question mark. I've forwarded the message to Colin and perhaps he can review his source that he made the photocopy from... BARBARA: I can scan the photocopy and send it to you off list, but I don't think you will be able to read it any better than I did... Let me know.

Thanks Kay for transcribing the old newspaper but I'll leave it up to Shane's generosity in trying to see if he can work out or find the name.

Hi, I've come across a DERVER (or DERVOR) cemetery in the past, although I'm not sure it was "Ancient". I believe it was at the border with Cavan, just inside County Meath, or vise versa. It would be in the Virginia, Co. Cavan area at any rate. If you go to: www.from-ireland.net/contents/graves.htm#cav you will see a reference to the churchyard or cemetery in the Cavan selection under Ulster. I've tried obtaining a copy of the cited work in Briefne, but was told by the Allen County Library that the vol. and page don't exist. I hope this doesn't confuse you.
