My mother at Carr’s Hill Cemetery for the first time after hearing her son was buried there over 58 years ago…A lonely figure looking for any evidence of burials on a huge site.
It is also believed 113 children that died in St Finbarr’s hospital that were born in Bessboro are also buried here…..
Meanwhile…
This neglected, state-owned cemetery is known as a famine graveyard but baby William was buried here in 1960, without his mother’s knowledge. There could be 113 Bessborough children buried here, somewhere in this field. Records are missing. I couldn’t find a single headstone. https://t.co/fD8Mpl6v50
