    1. [IRL-CAVAN] RE: Dover ???? Ancient Cemetery
    2. Barbara Morton
    3. Hi List I just would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all those who have look into solving the mystery about the above cemetery. As Shane has summarised it:- 1. Dervor in its alternate spelling Derver can be see to fit the original article very well, as previously explained; 2. Mulvany is a name associated with that part of the county which is up around Virginia (Cavan Library) 3. Dervor is an old graveyard (long closed) (per Cavan library) and therefore fits the description in the Anglo Celt. I suppose one thing you might want to do is at least prove that there were burials there as late as the 1850's when the Celt was being written. The article may be of use here. 4. Henry Mulvany was father of the two priests in the article and their mother was Ellen Farrelly. They came from Lisduff,Lurgan which is beside Virginia. (per library) It makes perfect sense that he would be buried there. Regards Barbara -- Barbara Morton Sandspit, Warkworth, NZ
