Wordless Wednesday, almost: Royal Irish Constabulary, Glasnevin

This memorial to members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who are interred at Glasnevin, marks interments which took place between 1884 and 1965.  If you have an ancestor who served with the RIC and you believe they may be named on this stone, send me an email at irisheyesjennifer @gmail dot com and I will check the photos with a loupe to draw out the information.

Intriguing names in the Necropolis: Hercules and Achilles

Sometimes I find myself drawn to tombstones, not only because of their beauty, but because of the names which they bear.  Here are a couple of examples from Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin, namely Hercules Ellis and Achilles Daunt:

of
