Mountmellick Town Photographs, Co. Laois (Queen’s Co.)

I went over the other day to take some photos because I know people whose family came from Mountmellick.  I guess the most surprising thing for me about this trip was that I have actually covered the cemetery in Mountmellick and if anyone had shown me photos of it, I would have said that is in Portarlingon!  I have no record that I can find of the Mountmellick gravestones or rather I have not named them Mountmellick!  Now, I have to go compare the information on gravestones that I photographed this week with the various documents I have and find that ‘missing’ work!


I went to the town specifically looking to see if there was a shop which had the surname Coates on it.  I didn’t find any *but* I did take a few photos and these are them.

Lewis Topographical Dictionary (1837) tells us that Mountmellick is part of two civil parishes “COOLBANAGHER, or COOLBENGER, a parish, in the barony of PORTNEHINCH, QUEEN’S county, and province of LEINSTER; containing, with the parish of Ardea, or Ardrea, the post-town of Emo, and part of that of Mountmellick, 7456 inhabitants. It comprises 8623 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. “

Also that “The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Kildare, episcopally united, in 1804, to the rectory of Ardea or Ardrea, together forming the union of Coolbanagher, in the patronage of the Crown:”
