UPDATE 24 August 2023
I found the actual graveyard. It is Rahan Demesne. The stone is not readable due to mold and holes, etc. So I'm wondering how they were able to get all the information they provided regarding the epitaph (as I provided below).
What do you think? Is there a church that would have the record?
The gravestone is located on this website: https://historicgraves.com/graveyard/rahan-demesne/rade
From Google, I found the following: Rahan Demesne (Raithean) is a townland in Rahan ED, in Rahan Civil Parish, in Barony, in Co. Offaly, Ireland.
I'm not sure how to read this.
If you could enlighten me as to how to proceed with this information, I would appreciate it. This may be the end of my brick wall!
Thank You,
Patricia
