Jan asks: === Can anyone tell me if there is a cemetery that would be named wither Templetuohy or Moyne? === Jan, I have seen many requests for cemetery names over the years but, in my admittedly-specialized experience in several hundred graveyards in Ireland, I can recall only 3 or 4 where there was actually a name posted at the entrance. Granted, most of the burial grounds I have visited are long-disused. I guess I have always assumed that graveyards - unattached to a particular church - were just named after the town or townland where they existed. In your case here, I haven't found any names for the various cemeteries. But here's what I do have, from the following sources: Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary - Vol. 1, North Tipperary Ordnance Survey Letters from 1840 Mitchell's Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards Townland Index maps from the OS OS Discovery map 60 In the Moyne-part of the RC parish, Mitchell lists only two graveyards. One is in Cooleeny townland, listed as connected to the C of I church there. The Townland Index map (from 1949) does not show a church in the townland. The AI book does not identify a graveyard in the townland. The OS letters does not mention a graveyard in Cooleeny. However, the Discovery map does show a "Grave Yd." in the center of the townland, about a mile east of Moyne village - but no existing church. I think the most likely location in Moyne would be at a graveyard in Moyne village (Moynetemple townland) about 200 yds. north of the existing RC church. This cemetery contains the ruins of the medieval parish church of Moyne. AI says: "The church stands in the centre of a large graveyard containing headstones of 18th- and 19th-century date enclosed by a 19th-century stone wall. The OS letters say: "There is a large graveyard attached to this Church still much in use.....". I haven't visited this graveyard, as it is too recent for my interests. It's possible the cemetery may be known as Moynetemple Cemetery. For the Templetouhy-part of the RC parish, Mitchell lists 3 graveyards. One is in Ballyknockane townland. The AI book says: "Depicted as a graveyard with a church in ruins on the 1st edition OS 6-inch maps". The 1840 OS letters say: "There was another old Church in the Townland of Ballyknockan but there remains of it at present but a fragment of one wall three feet in thickness standing in a grave yard which is now deserted." Mitchell lists two other graveyards in Templetouhy civil parish - both in Longorchard townland (although one is listed as the "Village of Templetouhy, Chapel Street" - which is also in Longorchard tld.). The Discovery map identifies two "Grave Yd.", which both appear to be within the village. Mitchell lists one attached to the RC church (on Chapel Street) and the other - identified as separate from the village - at the C of I church in Longorchard. The OS letters say: "The old Church of Templetouhy is destroyed to the very foundations and a modern Church built near its site." No other information on this regarding a graveyard or the denomination of the church. This site is mentioned in the AI book, with the additional comment: "There are no remains of any church in the graveyard which contains 18th/19th-century headstones". No name for the graveyard given. Perhaps Longorchard? This would appear to be the graveyard located on the western side of a "driveway" from the S. side of the R 502 regional road, and just east of the intersection with the minor road heading N from the village center. But my information about the locations of the graveyards and churches in the village are conflicting, so I won't stand by any of those comments [gr]. Just what you wanted to hear, I'm sure. I can do a more detailed search of the townlands in the RC parish if you're interested. There may be other graveyards lurking there. But it will take me some time. And as you know, I'm a bit busy now. But let me know, anyway.
