Hi Evelyn Thanks so much, this is very helpful! He was Church of Ireland, so perhaps Drumcoo cemetery is a good place to start. Was it a protestant or mixed church? And do you know of any burial records for this cemetery?
Richard married a Catherine Finnegan who was from just outside Dungannon, he moved from Co. Kildare after a family feud with his brothers to live near her family, so he may well be buried in her family plot. If you’re ever wondering the area and spot a headstone then I would love to hear about it! Im am currently in Tipperary, but planning a trip north to look for graves myself.
