Good Morning,
I would geatly appreciate some help wih these three questions:
1. Is St. Mary's/Clonmel Parish one place or two places?
2. I found a website for Clonmel Gravestones. Is that the same as St. Mary's/Conmel? If not, where can I find a similar website for St. Mary's/Clonmel Gravestones?
3. I thought my people were from Irishtown, St. Mary's/Clonmel,(Griffiths) but now I see that there is a place called Irishtown, Clonmel (rootsireland). Are they the same?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Barbara

The town of Clomnel although primarily in County Tipperary also has some smaller areas in County Waterford, similarly the civil parish of St. Mary's Clonmel covers the town and nearby townlands in both counties.
There are also religious parishes named St. Mary's Clonmel - both Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland, both of these cover the town and townlands nearby in both counties. In addition the Catholic parish of St. Mary's Clonmel covered the adjacent civil parish of Inishlounaght to the west. Parts of the east and south of the town and suburbs of Clonmel were covererd by the Catholic Parish of SS. Peter & Paul.
Irishtown is the name of a street and area within the town - so part of the town of Clomnel and part of the various St. Mary's parishes. A Catholic Church for the parish of St. Mary's Clonmel was located at Irishtown.
I see at least three graveyards in Clonmel town, one at the Church of Ireland St. Mary's, a small graveyard at the Catholic Chapel in Irishtown (St. Mary's), and another small graveyard adjacent to the Catholic chapel of SS. Peter & Paul off Gladstone street.
