I am an amateur genealogist, living in Dublin, Ireland.
I am particularly interested in the Pigotts of Ireland and their descendants.
The Edgeworth families of Ireland and Britain are also of particular interest.
The graves of Irishmen who fought in WW1 & WW2 are also of interest.

they will not follow you,

is standing in the clothes that you once wore"

 | Re; Old Dromod Burial Grounds, near Waterville, Kerry
Dear Mr. O'Grady,
A little background will be in order for this story. My entire surviving Sullivan ancestors emigrated from Ireland to Newport, Rhode Island, USA, during the Hunger. All of the brothers were married before the emigration, are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Newport, and all of them say they were from Cahersiveen, but one wife stated she was from "Dromond". Her name was Hannah Curran, married to Timothy C. Sullivan. Her parents were Cornelius and Margaret Curran. His parents were Michael and Margaret Sullivan. Margaret sailed to the United States without her husband, so she must have been widowed. John R. Sullivan married a woman named Mary, no help there, Daniel (my ancestor) was married to Bridget.
I suspect they may all have come from Dromod, and not Cahersiveen, only using the name of that town as the largest, most recognizable one nearby. I know there is probably no hope of extending my genealogical research beyond what I already know, but my question to you involves the Dromod Burial Ground itself.
Two years ago, my second trip to Kerry, and the first with my husband, we found the Old Dromod Burial Ground. It is, as you say, in poor condition, and I had neither the proper shoes nor the intestinal fortitude to venture inside the church ruins. Gave me the shivers thinking I might be treading on the graves of my ancestors. Just this past week, my husband and I revisited the site, with our adult sons. We managed to make it inside the church ruins this time. If you did as well, you may know what we found. I ask you, do you know anything about this church, its architecture, and this burial ground which would explain this? | | | Jo Campbell

Just wondered if you have any more information on this person. Her mother Sarah Connolly was my great grandmother.
Many thanks

Dear John,
I came across the information about my great grandfather Robert Scholefiled 1848-1926 on this site, and my great uncle Cyril Scholefield who was killed in the war.
I didn't know any of this information, and nor did my aunt (his niece).
I am just starting out with my family tree.
Very many thanks,
Amanda Stuart | | | Jon Murphy

Hi John,
I noticed Major Herbert Charles Crozier Royal Dublin Fusiliers is noted at the bottom of the headstone photographed for Lt Gerard Irvine Crozier Leinster Regt. I couldn't see him in the list of names for Mount Jerome Cem. (could well be my eyesight!), and a search doesn't locate him, but I'm interested in his date of death, which is unclear (maybe 29/1/1921 or 1951?). Can you help please?
i note the amount of work you put into this project. Amazing!
Thanks,
Jon | | | geoffrey gillon

Thanks for everything you've done on this one-I will copy you in correspondence with CWGC as to how we can get the date put right. They will probably place a 'Gallipoli' marker-small wedge-shaped stone there. | | | Maureen

Hi John,
I am a descendent of O'Gradys from Ballinskelligs.
My mom used to talk about their neighbor,Dan Pigot, whom I believe was from Ballinskelligs and is in fact,buried next to my uncle,John O'Grady in
Hartford Ct USA.
Coincidence? Are we related?
Regards

| Re family landy @ curragh
I note your excellent records of family but note that you have missed a Nora Heron nee Landy who is buried in the Cemetery with her husband William. This lady would be the child Emily referred to in the family records for the landy family in 1911 census
The family names in common use were Andrew, Nora, Brendan, and Sheila. Not always their first names | | | | [View all messages...] |
