St. James in Mallow was a Roman Catholic church up to the Reformation when it became Anglican (Church of Ireland). Catholics continued to be buried there, at least up to the start of burials in the graveyard of the later St. Mary's RC Church. The graveyard of St. James also includes the ruins of an earlier church, St. Anne's and some of the tombstones transcribed and mapped in the Mallow Field Club Journal No. 8, 1990 are actually in St. Anne's graveyard. While you could write to the Rector of St. James in Mallow, I doubt they would have much more information than what is transcribed in the Journal on page 149 and that is that Redmond Fitzgerald died in September 1773. The rest of the stone is worn and illegible. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Mallow Archaeological & Historical Society Acton, Massachusetts | Mr. John Caplice, Dromore, Mallow, Co.
