  • Hi Len-j,
    From what I see, it's up to the famiy to enter their names.
    Next time I am in Ireland I will be updating all the photographs of my family headstones and updating the FaG site.
    What Cemetery are your family buried in?

  • Ok, in 1901 they were in the Census

    National Archives: Census of Ireland 1911

    This is the map of the townland.
    Knockdoorish Townland, Co. Carlow (townlands.ie)

    Martin's Death

    Susan's death
    4547502.pdf (irishgenealogy.ie)

    Carlow town graveyards
    tullow graveyard - Bing

    As Knockdoorish was where they lived it's south of Carlow town nearer to Tullow.
    There are several newish cemeteries, I looked in Rip.ie site and most Gray people are buried in 
    All Saints Church Cemetery, Aghade (near Tullow)
    St Mary's Carlow.
    Bagenalstown. 

    I searched FaG with Gray and County Carlow and saw this....James Gray 1791 Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Ireland
    James Gray (unknown-1791) - Find A Grave Memorial

    I hope this helps.
