I am trying to find a grave/headstone of my Great Grandfather Edward Lawler although he died in Kiltegan County Wicklow with the address as HUMEWOOD which is a large estate where he was a coachman, he also had links to Moylisker as my Grandmother was baptised at the church of Moylisker in 1897( I have the original certificate)  I wondered if it was possible he is buried here as I can not locate any information at The church in Kiltegan linked to the Humewood estate,he died on the 28th December 1922 aged 58 which is after the fire at the records office but I can not find any information about his burial place.  I have found him and his wife Mary Jane Lawler and their 10children in the 1901 and 1911 census's and their actual address is stated as Lynn Belvedere Westmeath. If anyone can suggest anything on how to locate graves or if anyone in the area could check or send me a webpage of the  church in fact anything would be a help, I would be very grateful, I plan to come to Ireland to search myself in 2015 in the mean time I carry on on the internet! Thanks Janet heasman

  • Hi Janet,

    Thanks again for your message.

    Moylisker is actually a civil parish. It fall under the Catholic parish of Mullingar. Here is the link to Mullingar parish page.

    As far as I can tell from searching online the only church in Moylisker is a Church of Ireland church, however as I am not from the area I cannot be sure of this. It may be an idea to use the ?Contact Us? section from the Mullingar website to see if they can point you in the right direction with regards to what church you are looking for.

     

    Sorry not to be of more help,

    Emma
