Kiltimagh Graveyard


[Reilly]

This is the grave of great grandparents, Luke Reilly and Bridget (née Jordan). They are my father's mother's parents.

My great grandfather was an RIC constable and was stationed in Kiltimagh.

The celtic cross has broken off the top and much of the surface of the tombstone is damaged.

Nevertheless the inscription is readable to the eye, if not to the camera.

It is transcribed below. I don't know why the grandchild is included.
