Cemetery: Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery, Co. Limerick, Ireland Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Limerick Index Limerick Cemetery Index Copyright File contributed by: Kathy Rhodes _____________________________________ MOUNT ST. LAWRENCE CEMETERY Limerick, Co. Limerick Blackboy Pike, next to Limerick Prison and St. Joseph's Hospital RC Parish: St. Munchins? Opened c1849-1854? Transcribed from handwritten notes made by family members on a trip to Ireland in September 1989. Family members did wander about the cemetery looking at tombstones but rather than transcribing directly from the tombstones they searched through a Cemetery Record Book dated 1840 to 19__ for entries under the Surname SHANAHAN. It is unclear to me where my family members obtained this "Cemetery Record Book". Notes indicate that actual plot numbers for each grave were in the "notes" but unfortunately these additional "notes" with the associated plot #s appear to be missing from the materials I was sent. The Month of burial was included in this "Cemetery Record Book" but was not recorded by my family members. The Calculated Birth Date is just that - calculated by subtracting the age from the burial date and due to the month of burial not being recorded may therefore be slightly off.
