Transcribing the Graves of All Saints Church, Fenagh, County Carlow, Ireland
In a sleepy village nestled deep in County Carlow, Ireland, rests a small churchyard filled with ancient headstones. Who knew that one woman’s daily walk through this leafy graveyard would unravel stories of landlords, Cromwellian soldiers, bankers, Quakers, and twins whose parents have never been found? This book follows the author’s journey of transcribing gravestones as a hobby, detailing the village church and the secrets buried within its graves. It illustrates how information on headstones allows a glimpse at long-forgotten social conditions, politics, religion and grave robbing. It highlights the social lives of headstones and touches on ways the famine, typhoid and child mortality affected parts of Carlow, and a selection of sketches show the reader the beauty of Fenagh and its people.
Carlow
This book is concerned with the management of a small estate, the property of the O'Briens, which also happened to contain the important town of Carlow, in a time of major change in Ireland; the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It charts the economic problems that beset it during and after the Williamite War and examines the slow pace of recovery until the botched sale of the manor to James Hamilton in 1721. There is also an attempt to reconstruct the physical and built environment of the time from surviving records. Evidence of a major fire in the town in 1693 is investigated. There is also a discussion of the economic activity of the area.
Carlow to Lanark

Includes additional Tennant lineages and connections, and an account of a Richards family who left Ireland after the Rebellion of 1798, settled first at Utica, New York and later at Leeds County, Ontario.
