Hi
I have been researching the Adams family for a number of years.
I am a descendent of Allen Adams and Martha Higenbotham's son Samuel. Gr Gr Grandfather was Henry Augustus Adams in Bombay Native Infantry. My Gr Grandfather came to New Zealand where many of his descendents live. I am in contact with most of these and several from Samuel's brother Benjamin's line who remained in Ireland. I have had contact with one descended from the eldest son Richard, in Perth. On my last visit I had concerns the wall of the old church at Knockbride would collapse under the tree that was growing over it. This wall contains the names of many family members. I wonder if it was the wall of the old church as I was told, or more of a memorial or burial chamber?? The ground in front of it appeared to cover regularly spaced shapes, pews or coffins?
I will be in Monaghan in May 2020 and would like to meet up with other researchers of this family.
I have had many trips to Ireland over the years visiting the memorials and graves, Knockbride, Carrickmacross, St Michan's etc.

Dear Ruth:
Many thanks for your Chronicle about Allen Adams and your interest in the Knockbride church that still exists. I have forwarded this post to a volunteer in the Cavan area who may have more information about the church and the memorials that are associated with it. You should expect a reply in a few weeks.
Thanks for your interest in the Ireland Reaching Out programme. Please let us know if we canbe of further assistance.
Kind regards,
Jane
