Hello all. I'm in Australia and for a book I've been researching since 1997, I'm keen to get help in locating old family graves and monumental inscriptions. I gave a copy of the 1930's booklet 'Records of Ballingarry' and my family 'the Wilkinsons of St Oswalds' are listed as having graves (vault?) and M.I's still in existence. Any advice and help will be much appreciated. Cheers Scott
Hi,
You could check out the digitsed graveyards around Ballingarry on the Historic Graves website. This link brings you to the map page --> https://historicgraves.com/graveyards-map/ ;
And these are the 4 graveyards that are located within 2 or 3 km of Ballingarry:

https://historicgraves.com/graveyard/kilmacow/li-kmcw
https://historicgraves.com/graveyard/ballynakill/li-bykl
People with an interest in local history are often very knowledgable about things like this so it would also be worth contacting the Ballingarry Heritage Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Ballingarry-Heritage-2362737370636600/
And finally west Limerick Heritage might have some information of interest to you https://westlimerickheritage.wordpress.com/heritage-by-area/rathkeale/b…
I hope some of this information helps!
Good luck in your sea3rch

Hi there
I'm also in Australia and have a 3 x great grandmother Fanny Wilkinson in Castleconnell, on the shipping list for there son in 1863 it says both deceased, wondering if you have a missing Wilkinson that married a Richard Bourke ?
Thanks
Belinda
The church was sold to a monotering company who used it until about 6 years ago since then the gates are locked, but if I can get access I will have a look.
