Paul,
Time flies - yes been looking in to this for nearly 3 years now.
Here are a few documents
1. Extracts from 1821 and 1851 census
2. Local map of the Roman Catholic parish of Mooncoin - areas in red are the Civil parishes that make up the RC church parish - I have a better file that is clearer when you zoom in if you want it. Sent this 163KB file rather than a 6 MB one. The townlands of Moonveen and Glengrant are at the mostly southerly point. Nicholastown is in the middle under the E in IVERK
Go to Google maps and input Glengrant, Kilkenny for current location
3. The headstone of Mary Wood(Quilty's) parents in the Old Church yard in Mooncoin
4. Transcript of same headstone from Edmund Walsh Kelly's manuscript
5. Transcript of Fitzpatrick headstone in Carrigeen graveyard from Edmund Walsh Kelly's manuscript.
John is your John's father
Richard his brother
John his nephew (son of his brother Michael)
6. Transcript of Walsh headstone in Rathkieran graveyard from the Edmund Walsh Kelly's manuscript
Item 2 are your people
Richard Walsh is John Fitpatrick's grandfather (his daughter was Elizabeth Walsh, John's mother)
7. Transcript of Walsh headstone in Carrigeen graveyard from the Edmund Walsh Kelly's manuscript
Half way down the page is "Erected by John Walsh...." . He is Mary Wood(Quilty's) uncle.
Notice Mary's mother (Mary Quilty alias Walsh) also get a mention on this headstone - not bad being remembered in 2 graveyards!
Regards.. Bernard
