Mr. Cantwell transcribed stones that had pre 1880 years on them, plus any other stones standing beside these pre 1880 stones with the same surname and a later year. He transcribed stones that were legible and so for any graveyard there may be more stones that have not been transcribed. Memorials in churches were also transcribed and those names are included in these indices.

from Mr. Cantwell's 'Wexford Memorials' "This old and long disused graveyard is very much neglected, high ferns and brambles made it difficult to examine. It is situated in a field approx. 1 mile from the nearest road and is difficult to find. All visible memorials have been transcribed." end of exerpt.
