Doneloop Burying Ground

It could just be that she was buried without a gravestone. That's how the majority of burials were.

Doneyloop Burying Ground

Hello McDonaldMJ

I have contributed to this cemetery and would confirm the records relate only to burials that FAG contributors have taken the time to add and not a full listing of all internments. As has previously been stated the expense of a headstone was often prohibitive and though a family plot may exist later burials could indeed have a headstone which would not automatically see the inclusion of earlier internments.

A fuller list of burials you may find helpful :-

Dear P McG and Elwyn - thanks for your replies, and for thanks to P McG for all you have done to document the burials at St. Columba's Doneyloop.  I went through your attached listing and noted both Harveys and Laffertys, but not the ones I was looking for, unfortunately.  Its a rather depressing thought to think that my relatives may be buried there without a headstone.  I will go back to the drawing board and see if I can come at this a different way.  Thanks for your help!  Mike McDonald
