John Slye burial site in Templeshannon in June 1798
It is plausible that John Slye died on the 21 June 1798 in the Battle of vinegar Hill. I found a reference to the burial of John and Mary Slye in 1798.
Cantwell's Memorials of the Dead have a John Slye aged 60 died 21 June 1798 and wife Mary aged 60 who died in August 1798 and are buried in Templeshannon Old. (see attached jpg file)
I would like to know in which cemetery they are buried and if their gravestone is still visible. On Ireland Reaching Out site, I found a past post to Cantwell's work in Wexford:
"checked Cantwell's survey and he lists 4 graveyards in the Enniscorthy area - the one at St. Aiden's, St. Mary's Church of Ireland, a small graveyard adjacent to St. Senan's Templeshannon, and another graveyard just north of St. Senan's, which he lists as TempleShannon, which is shown as closed on the late 19thC OSI map, and appears to have been Church of Ireland. St. Senan's / Templeshannon RC was originally part of the parish of Enniscorthy, and only split off in the 1900s.
Cantwell's work includes transcripts of headstones (generally those with pre-1880 dates), and he covered St. Aiden's graveyard and the other 3 graveyards in the area - "
Perhaps this post gives some clue as to the Slye burial site.
I think that John Slye lived in the Monageer area.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
