Hello from Canada. Apologies for cross postings.

Recently I stayed at CastleHyde Inn, Fermoy (wonderful!) which is directly beside a small, very over grown cemetery. Apparently there are both Protestant and Catholics buried there.

Many stones were totally unreadable, but a few were, so I copied information with names I have seen on list. I hope it might help someone.

These were all on the same stone, in the same plot:
