After my recent success of finding my wife's grandparents, I was talking to a work colleague and surprise, her grandparents are apparently in the new graveyard.
Fergus died in 1979/80 and Mary-Ann about 1974.
If anyone is going to the graveyard in the new few weeks, could they have a look for the grave, and if possible take a picture of the grave and any transcriptions. I have looked online but cannot see the grave on any site.
Many thanks once again,
John
