Kilrush Gravestone (Minch)

Fionn,

I'd like to suggest you write to the Kilrush and District Heritage Ctr. at https://www.facebook.com/KDHSCountyClare/

Local people may be of help.

Good luck!

http://mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/5194/1/Mary_Connolly_20140711073812… This is likely the document you refer to above, it states that the burials of Thomas and Honora took place in Kilrush cemetery but I am unable to find this cemetery in Kildare,

Thank you both for your replies.
Patricia it's Kilrush Kildare not Clare.
Eileen yes it is that document above . I am surprised that someone does a thesis mentioning a gravestone and doesn't enclose a photo of it and its locality and inscription.
Thomas & Honor Minch were definitely in Kilrush as I've found three of their children's baptisms on Suncroft NLI. However if he died 1820 as suggested, then the family must have moved elsewhere as they are not mentioned on the tithes.
According to this document, there are also Minch gravestones with legible inscriptions at Crookstown cemetry but I can't find these online. Any suggestions where to look please?
Also this document mentions the 1766 church census and that a Patrick Minch was listed as being in Kilrush. Again I cannot seem to access this document. Any advice?
Thank you for your help. Have s good day.

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1781498 Croockstown Cemetery, as far as I can make out , it is near Timolan which is mentioned in some articles relating to the Minch family, also the son Matthew lived in Athy Co. Kildare.

There's an old graveyard in Suncroft village Co. Kildare, on the site of an old Catholic chapel already in ruins by the 1840s, a newer chapel was built a short distance north also on the west side of the main street and shown in arond 1900 as dedicated to. St. Bridget. A newer cemetery is located a little to the south of the town established later in the 1900s ..

Suncroft village and townland are in Carn civil parish and was part of the Catholic parish of Sandcroft/Suncroft. This RC parish covered a number of civil parishes all in County Kildare - Ballysax, Ballyshannon, Carn and KiIrush. In the 1830s the only chapel for the parish was the one in Suncroft.

The old graveyard is visible from the road on Google Streetview.

Thanks Eileen & Shane

If I still lived in Dublin, I'd be down scouring those graveyards.

Incidentally I did find some Rosetown Minch's gravestone info from Two Mile House, not direct ancestors, but it all paints a picture.

Thanks again.
