I will be visiting Leitrim in May and would like to find my ancestors graves. All I know is they lived in Drumreilly Lower Parish, County Leitrim. I know my 2nd great-grandmother died 10 Mar 1889 and my 2nd great-grandfather died before that. My 2nd great-grandmother on the other side of my family died 15 mar 1864, also in Drumreilly Lower Parish. That part of the family lived in Gleb. I think the other side lived in Bawnboy. They were Roman Catholic. Can anyone suggest a cemetery where I may find the graves and is there some way I can locate the graves online before I go to Ireland? Another town (townland??) name I have is Clendargan. I know I'm grasping at straws here but I don't really know how to ask this question.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Mary:
Welcome back!
Here is a John Grenham list which shows cemeteries in the various parishes in Co. Leitrim. Does not appear that many records are online.

You may want to e-mail the RC parish http://www.kilmorediocese.ie/parish-details/?page=ddb_parish_details&pa… and see if they can provide some insight in where your great-grandparents may be buried.

Thank you very much, Roger. emailing the parish is a good idea. I think there may still be family in the area and the parish just may have some information. I appreicate the email address.

Well I tried the link provided by Roger for the Kilmore Diocese and it took me to a Diocese for The Church of Ireland. Could there be a mistake with the link or is there another link for the Catholic diocese?

The link is for the RC diocese.
Here is the link for Drumreilly Lower parish http://www.kilmorediocese.ie/parish-details/?page=ddb_parish_details&pa…;
If you hit Personnell you will get their e-mail address.
Let me know if you still have problems.
