Can anyone advise where I may contact for burial information in Co Kilkenny, Ireland. I am trying to find the burial records of my Great-grandparents William & Ellen Cooke. Ellen died 1901 in Cuffesgrange and William died C.1935 in Knocktopher. Both were Roman Catholics. I have tried contacting a few places but with no luck. I would be grateful for any advise. Thank you. Richard Fitzgerald

Maybe you could google search the local churches in the areas and contact them to find more information. Good luck Kathleen

The Kilkenny Archealogical Society have some memorial transcriptions - but it looks like they charge for services and to use the Library... http://www.kilkennyarchaeologicalsociety.ie/ Also this link may help, it has a large list of holdings - County Kilkenny Genealogical Records http://www.rootsweb(.)com/~irlkik/krecords.htm#cem Have you contacted your local LDS centre to see if they hold/could order the records for this time period and church - I don't think on checking they have them for as late as you require...
