TEMPLEBEG CEMETERY

Erin,

If you Google Templebeg cemetery, the Find a Grave site comes up, and there are six Connolly (Anastasia, Leo, Martin, Michael, Patrick, Patrick) records shown. The names are all on the same headstone. Not sure if these are the Connollys you are searching for. 

Regards,

Carolyn, Thanks for reply. These are not the Connolly people that I am looking for. I had already looked at FMG and there are ONLY 24 entries. There must be many more but I cannot find any transcription for the whole graveyard. I am looking for Matthew Connolly and family. I know he was buried there as his funeral announcement stated that Templebeg was his interrment place. So I am still looking for transcription/records for this cemetery.

died 13 June 1871 aged 72 years

his sister Mary died 21st June 1909 aged 62 yrs

his daughter died 11th July 1926 aged 33 years

also the above Matthew Connolly died 18th July 1939 aged 84 years

Hope this helps

Hello P J, Thankyou so much for this information. It is has helped enormously.

Matthew CONNOLLY (of Ballypatrick, Drom and Inch) was married to Mary BUTLER (of Ballycahill) at Ballycahill, Holy Cross  16 Feb 1885. His Father John Connolly died 13 June 1872 at Ballypatrick. His Mother Margaret (Nee MAHER) died 2 December 1894 Ballypatrick. His brother John was his 1/2 brother. John died 30 October Ballypatrick This John's  mother was Mary BANNON who was 1st Wife of the father John CONNOLLY. His sister Mary (a spinster) died Ballypatrick. His daughter Margaret died 1926 at Clonmel Mental  Hospital from TB.

Can I ask how you found this record? I had no success from anywhere that I made enquiries. I would be interested to see if further family are recorded here. I am surprised that Matthew erected a stone in Templebeg rather than Inch Old Graveyard, Bouladuff (which I thought was the primary family burial place) BUT maybe Templebeg is also a long standing Connolly grave yard.

I am descended from Matthew Connollly of Ballypatrick (1800-1883) my 3rd G Grandfather who father was James Connolly who appears to be an Uncle. I am trying to (as best as possible) clarify the connections of the Connolly families who were settled at Ballypatrick, Drom and Inch. (incl Bouladuff).

I am so grateful for your help. Would you be able to  give me some advice as to  how I might go about finding the other records for Templebeg.
