The Parish of Denn
When I was in Ireland last month, we were led to the old cemetery of Denn on Drumavaddy Road. We could read only one stone. We stopped at the church, and I got the name of the parish priest. When we got home, I sent him a query about the old cemetery, and he sent me back this information. Judy Boylan Jbtrainman@aol.com

I hope that this information might help someone else researching the Boylan name. I assume the numbers after the inscriptions are the plot numbers. The old cemetery is quite overgrown and the stones are falling over. I was very happy to get this information from Father Burns. Judy Boylan

1796 Flax Growers List of 1796; "alphabetical index to the names contained in the premium entitlement lists of the Trustees of the Linen and Hempen Manufactures of Ireland: also known by the short title 1796 spinning wheel survey of Ireland.
The list was published by the Linen Board in 1796 and contains the names of flax growers who were eligible for assistance under a premium scheme. In order to encourage the growing of flax in Ireland, rather than it being imported, spinning wheels and utensils were to be given as a premium. There are only two Connells listed in the 1796 document close to your area.
