Mary, I recently photgraphed a bunch of the old headstones in Annagh. I looked, and found only one photo, that reads "Erected by Mary O'Sullivan in loving memory of her father Michael O'Connor of Curraheen". Naturally, there are no dates! It is an older stone, although probably not early 1900s vintage. I did notice that there are an awful lot of headstones in Annagh that are just bits of rock sticking out of the ground. I have to go back, anyway. The day I took that one was not great for headstone photos, and some of the stones will have to be transcribed rather than photographed; they're just too worn.

Just a thought, In Sneem the head of the local Fas scheme has a book that has the name and location of all the graves in the Sneem cemetary. The men employed by Fas cut the grass in the cemetary. If there is no Fas scheme in the town/city you are interested in, the parish priest or local undertakers should know who has the information.
