Additional Comments: Source of information: "Clonmel Gravestone Inscriptions" by FÁS. ISBN: 9910002075; Call #929.5; Clonmel branch of the County Tipperary Library; ref: http://catalogue.tipperarylibraries.ie/ipac20/ipac.jsp? profile=cl#focus. These indexed records cover monumental inscriptions in Ballyclerihan, Derrygrath, Donoughmore, Kilronan, Kiltegan, Lady's Abbey, Lisronagh Castle, Marlfield, Newchapel, Old Ardfinnan, Powerstown, Rochestown, St Mary's, St Stephen's, St Necklos, Society of Friends Tullameelin, Tullamellin C of I and Woodrooffe. The gravestone inscriptions were collected by volunteers circa 1993; are handwritten and are kept in loose leaf folders at the Clonmel branch of the County Tipperary Library and have not been published as a complete book. Marie Boland was kind enough to send me a photocopy of the handwritten material for Donoughmore Church via email in Sep 2008. I am unable to determine (since this material has never been published in book format) to whom the copyright belongs, so I must refrain from posting the 'original' handwritten material; however, my abstraction of the names and dates should not pose a copywright violation. Should you wish to see the original document for Donoughmore Church (or any of the other 17 cemeteries) I suggest you contact Marie Boland email address; bolandm@tipperarylibraries.ie K. L.
