Hidden cemetery for Templepatrick Westmeath
While on holiday and constantly looking for any signs of my family that may be buried this area or any records, I received some information about a cemetery on the Ballymore road south of Moyvore and half way between there and Ballymore. At first it was supposed to be right next to the road but indeed it is across a field and well into the next one. We stopped and asked permission from the landowner to enter. I havesome pictures of it and if anyone is interested, I can send them on.It is a catholic cemetery that appears to be very local people, the earliest date on the headstones we found was 1776. It is in a stateof lots of brambles, ivy and nettles and am sure there are many more headstones unable to be seen. There is a record of this graveyard in the 'Under the Hill of Uisneach' book which is a bit tough to get ahold of. Wewere able to find some of the names in the book that we saw. I was able to find and Edward and Patrick Kelly listed in the book but still no sign of Timothy Kelly. Perhaps this will help some other people looking for remote cemeteries in the area.
