I didn't know they had burial records. Actually, my great grandfather (I found out from the baptismal record at Wex Heritage Centre) was from the Civil Parish of Kilmokea, PLU New Ross, Townland of Priesthaggard. It is about 6 miles south of New Ross. The church is Horeswood. The OS map I ordered of Kilmokea, survey of 1840-1841, came yesterday. It is huge. On the map, I saw "RC Chapel" in Horeswood. Didn't those churches have names, like St Mary's or St somebody? I also didn't see any cemeteries. Where would people in the area be buried? Beth
