Hi Lorraine,
I have been looking unsuccessfully for a Patrick Reilly and his wife Mary Miskell from County Galway. At one time Patrick was a HotelKeeper in Glennamaddy and I know they had a son also called Patrick born about 1857.

Church/Graveyard KILMEENA OLD
Description of Church/Graveyard This graveyard is situated about two miles east of the Westport to Newport road. The new church and graveyard are about 2-3 miles west of this site and have no pre 20th century memorials. However the latter have some fine modern Celtic crosses to the O’Malley family with symbols of the Crucifixion as well as the O’Malley coat of arms. This type of symbolism is otherwise unknown in this part of the county and while the symbols follow the traditional pattern found elsewhere in Ireland the inclusion of a saw is unusual.
