Gotta say love you guys. I just wish my grandfather was alive he died before you tube. He never got back home. He was such a wonderful grandad stories galore.
That is so true, thanks for that, it's beautiful, I have one I heard yrs ago, do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there I do not sleep..if you don't know it google the words, its beautiful
Hi Sue. It is my belief that the Thomas Colles who was the son of Abraham Colles is the surgeon who gave his name to a particular bone fracture of the wrist known as a Colles Fracture. I am contually entranced by you videos.
Your visit of the beautiful cemeteries is never disappointing on all the grave yards .At least if I can not visit Ireland and the old graveyards you get me to see places on the other side of the world good work .The emerald island.🎉 If you close your eyes you can see the people at the funeral of the people who are being buried there 150 year and over 250 years ago.
Thank you Sue for another interesting visit, I never tire seeing the old church yards and cemeteries as each one is unique. The Levenstong(sp) memorial was exceptionally beautiful because of the verse the husband/father wrote I could feel how much love and admiration he must have had for his wife. God bless and keep you and GV safe.
Always astounds me the age of cemeteries and burials . Being born in Australia we have nothing of this age . Being a 1st generation Australian., I have visited the graveyards and cemeteries of my ancestors in Scotland, England and Ireland . Spending way to much time in them, I will be over again in July 2023 and one just can’t walk past an old cemetery right 🫢 🐨🥰
Hello from New Zealand, love all of your content. Blows me away with all the centuries old graves, and I love seeing the new Zealand native cabbage trees growing there. Thanks for all your work making these wonderful episodes.
i hate i didn't catch this live. it is phenomenal! what a gorgeous little cemetery. all that ivy too! so difficult to walk on. loved this one. thank you!!
Oh my gosh Sue! These stones are so old and beautiful. Every stone tells a story. Not one has truly died until their names are no longer spoken. You had mad them vivid to all. Thank you for this walk today! God Bless! ❤️
The livingstone epitaph was so beautiful and sheer devotion to his wife was moving. You just don't see that these days. That has made my year that has. Awesome vid Sue.
Thanks Nik, everything is so expensive, can you imagine paying per letter today to write this on a headstone. I find it so beautiful, that today we can still read his love and loss for her.
Sue i so enjoy the history amd story and the research you do is absolutely astounding. I just love it all . thanx so much. The grounds and all is bresthtaking. You are the best.😊❤😊❤
Thomas Colles is another ancestor. We are really enjoying your channel here. It’s amazing to find a bit of our ancestors, where they came from and how they lived. Here we are way across the pond in Idaho USA (near Yellowstone!). Many thanks and God bless. Andy
How cool to be let in to such a fascinating graveyard! A lot of famous people for such a small graveyard. The name "Donnybrook" is interesting too. Here in Canada if a bunch of hockey players got into a fight on the ice it would be called a "Donnybrook"! Lol! Just a great find and tour. Thanks guys! 😊👏🙏
No way Hans now that's a pretty cool piece of information I've never heard of that in Hockey, wow now you can tell everyone that's a place in Dublin 😀😀
Hi Sue :) It appears that nearly everyone in this cemetery has an interesting story . That's a lot of history in one tiny site and I very much enjoyed this video :)
Incredible dates you have found there! I liked this cemetery but there sure was a lot of ivy. The headstones were magnificent. Take care of yourselves. ♥️🙂
Wow this was an excellent video! The stones are so old, very cool. And you said there was a Celtic church going back to the 9th century? Absolutely incredible, just think the stories that these stones could tell. Thank you Sue and friend for the tour of this OLD graveyard.
Oh Liz, after looking to get in here I finally located the key, you have to go to the cop station and get a guard/policeman to let you in..one of the most amazing stones I've ever seen are here and there's some more gorgeous ones too
Just a note to let you know , ive now seen this video probably 70 times lol. Don’t worry im not obsessed 😂. I use this video as a timer to walk inside during the winter. But each time i play it I usually catch something different. I just want to say to you and GV that I appreciate the respect you show for these sites . Even though this cemetery has a lot of important figures buried inside, im surprised of its simplicity. Compared to some cemeteries that are way more elaborate. It shows to me the humbleness of the deceased or perhaps the family members. Making this a very dignified testament of these people!!
Hi Sue I missed the live as per! I just love that cemetery it's beautiful very old but picturesque Ireland seems to have a lot of them just natural beauty. Thank you I enjoyed it.💕
It was nice of the guard to let you in to such an historic place. This one was like a big box of assorted chocolates! So many different styles, gorgeous carvings, old dates, couple of Celtic Crosses and crypts. Wow! Couldn't ask for better Sue & GV. Hope you had your welly boots on....Deb of Oz.
Hey Deb, that's exactly what it was, an assortment of everything you'd like to see. The guard was a little bit unsure as to why I wanted to go in but I'm delighted he said it was OK. I've wanted to visit for a long time, so I feel blessed now to have gone inside rather than looking at a locked gate 🙏
I'm currently binge watching your channel after discovering it only a few days ago. Love the content. I would also like to thank the Garda for letting you access the cemetery.
Hello my Dear friend, Such a beautiful place I’m glad you got the key… I could never think of seeing anything so beautiful as the Cemeteries you and Cathal have access to their in Ireland…God Bless…

@@SerenitySueGraveyards you have made a fantastic channel, very interesting, in a time where social media is destructive, we tend to look for channels to be entertaining, well done!
Just found another of your videos from a year ago what a beautiful little cemetery and amazing grave stone's...i spotted the tower crane which is what i do for a living from Aussie Pete keep safe
I’m always amazed at the work of the stonemasons from old, how the words are still visible. My father’s, after just 12 years, is already wearing away, certainly won’t be legible in another 20 years, never mind 200
I hated that I missed the live but wow is this cemetery interesting! The hand with the dagger was interesting as well. I wonder what it could have meant? The history is fascinating for sure. What a great find. Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂
wow Sue this graveyard was amazing , glad you got a key , that tombstone with an angel face had quite a story on it , and I've never seen a hand holding a dagger either , so I wonder what it means loved the ivy everywhere , sorry it was wet and hard to walk through , the baronet distillery had a very unusual headstone , but this was an amazing tour , loved it . sorry I missed this morning just watching now got home from work x
Thanks Julia, some amazing stones there, my favourite is definitely the one with the skull and crossbones it had everything, might even use it when I pass, thanks for watching as always, your Irish friend Sue 😀
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I loved the whole scene of the crucifixion too that would be very rare great find this place , love your Aussie mate Jules xx ❤
Worked a little magic, I see. I'm glad that you got in. That cemetery has character! 1771, that is amazing! I've never seen one that old that wasn't washed clean by the weather.
Hi Sue I love watching your videos & some of the graves that date back to the 1700s is amazing! The tabletop ones that are covered in leaves & dust why not have a small handbrush to clear them then make them clear to read 😊
I'm sorry you didn't miss any Bone Footage when you got booted off UA-cam momentarily. I just realized what had happen and wanted to joke around with you. I've been booted before and it's terrible, so I wanted to joke around when you got back on. 😉

Sue, Thank you for your channel. my wife and I live on the west coast of the USA We are contributors to Find a Grave here in the US. We are both Irish, she is a Gilliean and a Duffy while I am an Urquhart with Scottish roots as well as Irish. My real surname is O'Chonchobhair from Ulster. I just wanted to ask if you ever run across Urquharts in your travels? Keep up the good work! Slainte!
Hello from Amity, Oregon USA. I was surprised to see palm trees there in the cemetery. Are there lots of those in Ireland? Really cool. What a beautiful old place. Thank you for your video.
The Haigs memorial is really nice they come from near to where i live in Scottish Borders, There family seat of Bemersyde is about eight miles from me Robert Haig was the Great Grand Uncle of Field Marshall Douglas Haig head of the British Army in the 1914-1918 Great War, Also related to the Steins and Jamesons from Scotland of Irish Whisky Fame
Sue: Loved your video! By the way, Roman numerals: M= 1000, D = 500, C= 100, X-10 and I = 1 So that Roman Numeral you saw (MDCCXXXIII) would be the year, 1733 Source: "Britannica": "Roman numeral, any of the symbols used in a system of numerical notation based on the ancient Roman system. The symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M, standing respectively for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. A symbol placed after another of equal or greater value adds its value-e.g., II = 1 + 1 = 2 and LVIII = 50 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 58. Usually only three identical symbols can be used consecutively; to express numbers beginning with a 4 or a 9, a symbol is placed before one of greater value to subtract its value-e.g., IV = −1 + 5 = 4, XC = −10 + 100 = 90, and MCMLXXXIX = 1,000 −100 + 1,000 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 −1 +10 = 1,989. The exceptions are 4,000, which is sometimes written as MMMM, and clocks, which usually display 4 as IIII. A bar called a vinculum placed over a number multiplies its value by 1,000."
We call that bladed device a strait sythe and there are large bent wood handled ones here in the U.S. mostly used by the Amish german people also called the Pennsylvaia Dutch,of which groups of them live here in Pennsylvania.
Hi Shadows Past hi from Ireland, thank you for your subscription, really appreciate it ❤️ I've had to come back and say I checked your channel out, I was already subscribed, my partner Grave Visitations had show me some of your videos so we've watched a few..I love your stories and walks
You're doing great, the first I watched was the story of you seeing the ghost in the graveyard and then the video of your brother who passed. Beautiful ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards it’s also called a scythe The scythe is an image that reminds us that Death reaps the souls of sinners like the peasant who harvests corn in his field. Each movement of the scythe brings thousands of souls.
Thanks Sandra, GV said it in video my brain just couldn't actually think (brain Fog) hate when it happens, now that makes perfect sense, thanks so much for the information
Hey Sue. What we call a flashlight you all call a torch. LOL I just think that is funny. But wow what a tour through that cemetery. Really unlike any hear in the U.S. Thanks a lot for the tour.
Oh James someone said that to me before, it is funny 😁 I never realised until now, lots of different words with different meanings. Yes it sure was a very unique cemetery. Thanks James
Hi Sue and GV. It is nice to get a good look at GV sometimes. It was very kind of that guard 💂♂️ to let you in. Fascinating cemetery. I may have missed it at the beginning of the video 📹 but how old is this cemetery, and when did it stop doing internments? The cemetery and headstones 🪦 are in pretty good condition, I hope some volunteers 🙋♂️ will come in this summer ☀️ sometime, and clean it up a bit. That ivy is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with. Thank you very much for another great video Sue and GV. Have a great weekend.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank you very much for getting back to me, and for the information. 800 AD? There is probably a great many graves under all that ivy that are unmarked, or perhaps 🤔 the cemetery originally stretched beyond the wall surrounding the cemetery today. Maybe one day, if enough of that ivy is removed, some evidence of ancient graves might be uncovered. Thank you again Sue and GV. Stay safe.
Great video Sue you done well getting in there ive often thought of jumping over lol ah no fair play to the Gaurd.. I do be very surprised that people who died in the 1700s or 1800s lived until there 70es or 80es it wasn't very common that people lived that long back then unless they were wealthy? Im guessing a lot of them buried there were of higher class considering the class of people they were and also the division in the standard of living back then, No in between either rich or poor and been a part of the British empire then, Dublin known as the jewel in the crown, also a lot of the surnames say a lot of there backgrounds I'm doing my best to be very mindful of my wording which I'm sure you understand what I mean.. But it's still a great part of our history great video really informative 🙏
Thanks!
Ahh Deanna, thank you so much it is really appreciated 💗
Gotta say love you guys. I just wish my grandfather was alive he died before you tube. He never got back home. He was such a wonderful grandad stories galore.
Ahh I'm sorry, oh I know those stories, my own granda loved to tells us old yarns of Ireland too, I miss my granda now, more than ever x x
DON'T CRY because I am GONE....SMILE because I was HERE......That is a great quote to remember.....

Hello from Amity, Oregon USA. I was surprised to see palm trees there in the cemetery. Are there lots of those in Ireland? Really cool. What a beautiful old place. Thank you for your video.
Not really T.C there are a few but strange to see them here for sure
The Haigs memorial is really nice they come from near to where i live in Scottish Borders, There family seat of Bemersyde is about eight miles from me Robert Haig was the Great Grand Uncle of Field Marshall Douglas Haig head of the British Army in the 1914-1918 Great War, Also related to the Steins and Jamesons from Scotland of Irish Whisky Fame

Loved your video! By the way, Roman numerals: M= 1000, D = 500, C= 100, X-10 and I = 1 So that Roman Numeral you saw (MDCCXXXIII) would be the year, 1733
Source: "Britannica":
"Roman numeral, any of the symbols used in a system of numerical notation based on the ancient Roman system. The symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M, standing respectively for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. A symbol placed after another of equal or greater value adds its value-e.g., II = 1 + 1 = 2 and LVIII = 50 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 58. Usually only three identical symbols can be used consecutively; to express numbers beginning with a 4 or a 9, a symbol is placed before one of greater value to subtract its value-e.g., IV = −1 + 5 = 4, XC = −10 + 100 = 90, and MCMLXXXIX = 1,000 −100 + 1,000 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 −1 +10 = 1,989. The exceptions are 4,000, which is sometimes written as MMMM, and clocks, which usually display 4 as IIII. A bar called a vinculum placed over a number multiplies its value by 1,000."
Thanks so much ❤️
We call that bladed device a strait sythe and there are large bent wood handled ones here in the U.S. mostly used by the Amish german people also called the Pennsylvaia Dutch,of which groups of them live here in Pennsylvania.
Yes we would have used them years ago cutting long grass or wheat etc
Great Video! Hello from Chatsworth, Georgia. I just subscribed. God Bless
Hi Shadows Past hi from Ireland, thank you for your subscription, really appreciate it ❤️ I've had to come back and say I checked your channel out, I was already subscribed, my partner Grave Visitations had show me some of your videos so we've watched a few..I love your stories and walks
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank You So Much. I am still getting use to filming, and talking on video. LOL! Even though its not live.
You're doing great, the first I watched was the story of you seeing the ghost in the graveyard and then the video of your brother who passed. Beautiful ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank You So Much!
This for some reason reminds me of the cemetery in the original Wicker Man movie.
Oh I don't know that movie
I love watching your videos. I have relatives long ago in Ireland. I'm always hopeful that you'd visit their area. I'm in the U.S.
Where abouts in Ireland?? What's the surname
Thank you Sue ❤
Very welcome Debbie, as always 😀
Here in the states, that farm tool is called a sickle! Or grim reapers sickle as a lot of us here know it!
Yes Mark, I actually couldn't think what it was called, complete brain fog thanks
@@SerenitySueGraveyards it’s also called a scythe
The scythe is an image that reminds us that Death reaps the souls of sinners like the peasant who harvests corn in his field. Each movement of the scythe brings thousands of souls.
Thanks Sandra, GV said it in video my brain just couldn't actually think (brain Fog) hate when it happens, now that makes perfect sense, thanks so much for the information
Hello, im new to your channel. Love it allready. I love cemetaries, graveyards. Happy new year :)
Thanks so much Triliton, appreciate it so much
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Youre welcome. Greetings from Norway :)
Great video Sue !!!
Thanks Randy ❤️
Often we were in Donibrook never knew that this was here very interesting
Yes John you'd easily walk right by and not notice it
Hey Sue. What we call a flashlight you all call a torch. LOL I just think that is funny. But wow what a tour through that cemetery. Really unlike any hear in the U.S. Thanks a lot for the tour.
Oh James someone said that to me before, it is funny 😁 I never realised until now, lots of different words with different meanings. Yes it sure was a very unique cemetery. Thanks James
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Sure. You all take care. I will subscribe so that I don't miss any more videos.
Thanks James, I appreciate it 🙏
Amazing and never boring . The curved blade is a sickle I think ?
Hey Tom, it was just amazing, like a gift shop, yrs that's correct sickly or scythe
Lovely video sue ❤️❤️
Thanks Sharon ❤️
One of the best!
Hi Clark, it is amazing there, such history
The long handle cutter is a scythe (grim reaper): the short one is a sickle (hammer & sicke of former USSR flag etc).
Cheers for that
Hi Sue and GV. It is nice to get a good look at GV sometimes. It was very kind of that guard 💂♂️ to let you in. Fascinating cemetery. I may have missed it at the beginning of the video 📹 but how old is this cemetery, and when did it stop doing internments? The cemetery and headstones 🪦 are in pretty good condition, I hope some volunteers 🙋♂️ will come in this summer ☀️ sometime, and clean it up a bit. That ivy is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with. Thank you very much for another great video Sue and GV. Have a great weekend.
Dates back to 800 AD not sure of the last burial though, that ivy was like a carpet underfoot
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank you very much for getting back to me, and for the information. 800 AD? There is probably a great many graves under all that ivy that are unmarked, or perhaps 🤔 the cemetery originally stretched beyond the wall surrounding the cemetery today. Maybe one day, if enough of that ivy is removed, some evidence of ancient graves might be uncovered. Thank you again Sue and GV. Stay safe.
Thanks Michael, there are definitely unmarked graves there for sure
The inground tomb with the little chain attached shows bones inside on the right laying front to back look and you will see them...
I thought I'd seen that but wasn't sure
👍👍👍thank you!!!
You're most welcome 🙏
Great video Sue you done well getting in there ive often thought of jumping over lol ah no fair play to the Gaurd.. I do be very surprised that people who died in the 1700s or 1800s lived until there 70es or 80es it wasn't very common that people lived that long back then unless they were wealthy? Im guessing a lot of them buried there were of higher class considering the class of people they were and also the division in the standard of living back then, No in between either rich or poor and been a part of the British empire then, Dublin known as the jewel in the crown, also a lot of the surnames say a lot of there backgrounds I'm doing my best to be very mindful of my wording which I'm sure you understand what I mean.. But it's still a great part of our history great video really informative 🙏
Understand completely Eoin, yes either very rich or extremely poor, very sad times for the poor. Thanks Eoin
It appears from reading the headstones that people were quite affectionate with one another but died rather young.
Years ago from what I've found, especially the victorians, they wrote a lot of information on their stones, even expressing their love ❤️
