What a wonderful tribute to Mary and Rose Livingston. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an epitaph quite like this. How loved they were and I can’t actually feel his loss. Just beautiful! Thanks Sue!
I really like the videos you make because it's like traveling to the past thinking about what everything was like on the dates those people were buried. I love your work Serenity Sue
I must say Sue I absoloutely love watching you and GV, My last name is Brennan, as Irish as it comes, i wonder where all these Brennans in my ancestry came from and as far as we can see its mainly kilkenny, however I had found so many more ancestors and 6x grandparents in other areas, I absolutely cannot get enough of the Irish accesnt and miss my grandfathers voice as it was always as close to Irish accent as I could get as we migrated to Newfoundland in early 1800's, thnk god for Newfoundland and Ireland ,,,, Erin go braugh !!!!!!!!
G’day Sue these very old cemeteries are a time capsule of history, they famins and wars ect. This one was very interesting you can see who was wealthy and who wasn’t just by the size and quality of the headstones, good to see you both take care and look after yourselves kind regards John P S just a foot note I learnt when I was in nurse training they went into medical history especially in the out back of Australia if you find a hole lot of small crosses they are usually little kids disease would wipe out a lot just from one community. We were told parents didn’t name their kids till they were no longer toddlers. Medicine and medical treatment was in its infancy.
I absolutely love the information and pictures you include in your videos. If you were my history teacher in school I think I would have done better in the subject! The old grave markers are amazing
A very lovely headstone to commemorate Mary and baby Rose Levingston. That is a different spelling of that name. I know people here in the states with that spelling. So much history in one graveyard but then Dublin has 1000 years of history. Cathal you peel away that ivy quite well. I should hire you. Thanks so much for reading the names and dates - incredible! ♥️🙏☘️
This graveyard is amazing that goes back to the 1700's ,, it's nice to see that GV, work together ❤ God Bless you both 🙏🇨🇦🙋🏼♀️I'm in Medicine hat Alberta Canada, our cemetery isnt that old.i might go and see if I can find the oldest too.
Wow I am totally stunned at this find😮 on the city with so much history and people who had contributed so much and some who died so young. Mary and Rosa😢😢. What a lovely video that I was surprised and enjoyed so so much. Thanx as always Sue and GV. Love you guys.❤😊❤😊
There is something spooky about this cemetery. Any time I see the graves of those who died too soon, it feels creepy. This cemetery would definitely be more spooky at night.
That's the best graveyard I've seen in a while.. when you first went in it seemed dark and heavy but I think it's just the wet everything, amazing history there and sure you'd be dying to get buried there 😂. Fantastic video Sue and Cathal
Hi sue &GV. Loved the cemetery, because I like when nature takes over. I think it looks so beautiful when the headstones are coloured by nature. I wonder in two to three hundred years what will happen to the burials of people now and future. Marvellous video Sue & GV Steve from England.
What a charming old graveyard. Fascinating history, the beautiful stone work and carvings transport you back in time as you imagine what their lives must have been like. Thank you so much Sue (and the police man:) xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
What a kind Garda to let you in!! What an ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING place!! It's SOOOOOO full of history!! It's appears that a LOT of notable people are buried there!! Thanks for sharing this hidden treasure with us, Sue!! XXXX 🤗💕👍👏❤😍💞
❤perfect timing. Having another rainy day here. Always love watching you n GV in my spare time. 😲😲😲😲 hand holding dagger! 🤔 not sure but that crest I've seen on my blood line there were different groups with the Mac or Mc. @9:30 McNallo . the dagger is pointed a different way though. The dagger of my line points straight upward I'm gonna have to study that a bit. Do y'all know of Reba? The country singer. We have some graves that lives around here lol it is a strange name. That chain I wonder if it was used for lifting that stone slab.🤔hmm interesting. A Scythe 🤔 not sure if I spelled that right 😅. Such a neat place guys. I feel like I got something to research, that dagger on the tombstone come close to my line but the dagger is in a different position. I need to figure out what they mean 🤔. God bless you guys enjoyed it❤🤗
@@SerenitySueGraveyards well hadn't had too much time to investigate but so far all I've found is that it has something to do with the coat of arms and perhaps clans or groups. But it did catch my attention lol. Per ardua =through hardship or difficulty is the clans motto. The crest is a Dexter hand in a pale holding a dagger proper. Argyll district western Scotland Historic seat Glen noe Mac an T-saoir meaning son of the carpenter or craftsmen . there's some in glasnevin in Dublin and other places scattered throughout Ireland. Family probably not but could be distant blood. I think the bigger part of the clan were in Scotland before being captured . 😅 it's had my head spinning lol.
It’s a lovely old graveyard.I think it’s amazing how most of the stones have survived and are in really good condition and being able to be read too.We don’t get that often do we.But I think keeping it closed has helped.It was nice that you were let in,we got to see some really nice old headstones and the carving on them was spectacular too.I loved the Gothic one.I know it’s a bit over the top,but I do love them,luxurious and decadent,saying “hey look at my grave it’s fancy “..Thanks for taking us..Love n Light to you both 🥰
On here late,but enjoyed the tour of this beautiful graveyard. It's so amazing of the intricate work and artistic talent that went into each monument and railing. I can see the love and devotion that was put into all that. Thank you. God bless from Oklahoma U.S.
Absolutely love your videos we just don’t have that early history in Australia… I hope one day to see a Crawford on one of those headstones and maybe trace my ancestors… keep up the good work.. love it🙏
I wouldn't hurt to bring a broom with you to sweep off the gravemarkers so they might be read easier. It's also a show of respect. Should anyone question what you are doing there, you can say that you are helping to maintain the cemetery. Also, ivy, although it looks nice, digs in and destroys anything it grows on. It is sad to see something once very pretty fall into disrepair. It is a part of history. I love the Latin words. Dominus vobiscum! Gratias tibi ago!
You need a plumber snake/scope to peek into cripts. Thank you for your videos, I love them. When you read the tombstones I often wonder if they are my relatives!
I find it really interesting to think that the people buried in the later graves might have read the headstones on the earlier graves, the same ones you and GV are reading. (Does that even make sense?) If only gravestones could talk. Another brilliant video, thank you ❤
I play solitaire while watching and looked up at the Roman numerals and said out loud 1733 and felt good that I still remembered how to read those, Cheers and great video
Oh yeah this is your 3rd video you found someone with my name but without the E on the end of Dunne. I once found a grave with my name and exact birth date 100 years before my own. That felt creepy. Funny thing is there is a famous Poet with my name but not spelled anywhere close but pronounced the same and I write poetry all the time and my daughter says they are good.
Lovely cemetery, I just wish it was looked after better than what it is. I know the council probably doesn't have the money to look after the place, what about those who live on the other side of the wall, couldn't they help say once a month?
Hola Susan y GV en el cementerio de mi pueblo que también está dentro del casco urbano hay muchas tumbas con calaveras y relojes de arena como te gustan a ti . Haber cómo encuentro la manera de enviarte fotos de los monumentos funerarios de mi pueblo. Un vídeo realmente precioso, un saludo 👋

Some of the inlaid stones you visited looked to glow with an otherworldly light! Perhaps it's just my perception but I thought perhaps they were inlaid with special stones!
Beautiful graveyard. Glad they are cleaning up, so much history! 1700 stones facinate me. All hand carved! Thanks Sue and GV💕
I know you love them Liz, it's amazing to see them and to be able to read. 💓❤️
Fascinate.....

A lot of lovely old 17 hundred stones and great condition thanks both
Glad you enjoyed it
I must say Sue I absoloutely love watching you and GV, My last name is Brennan, as Irish as it comes, i wonder where all these Brennans in my ancestry came from and as far as we can see its mainly kilkenny, however I had found so many more ancestors and 6x grandparents in other areas, I absolutely cannot get enough of the Irish accesnt and miss my grandfathers voice as it was always as close to Irish accent as I could get as we migrated to Newfoundland in early 1800's, thnk god for Newfoundland and Ireland ,,,, Erin go braugh !!!!!!!!
Ancestry DNA can help solve that question, just spit mail & wait.I would recommend it to anyone searching me
Thank you, I know a few Brennans in wexford
Really loving your channels both of you are so lovely always done with respect and care fantastic stuff really enjoying watching

Thank you, I didn't do great in history class, my books were boring and my teacher was boring too lol, I prefer this history
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I felt the same way
Gorgeous stones! I love you and GV as a team and enjoy both channels. Thank you both for showing these historical and beautiful places!
Thank you kindly
Cemeteries were constructed so beautfully and carefully back in those year's so long ago....
They sure were
Beautiful. So nice to see all the history and beautiful epitaphs. Thank you Sue and GV!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and already said it after I heal I will be coming to see you two

Very cool! These guards were really nice, doubt too many actually ask for the key, he was a little suspicious at first

With all the history and seeing that it’s importance is guarded, I wonder why it isn’t maintained. What a shame.
Yes, imagine it's locked up but not cared for
An absolutely amazing place. The history, the art work of those carvings on the stones, so fascinating. Another wonderful visit back in time. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow what an amazing tour. Thank you Sue and co. So full of stone history. Love the tour! Some stones here have beautiful designs!

Hi Gary
Gorgeous graveyard with beautiful gravesstones ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this little cemetery
Amazing! Another great video.
Thanks again!
That graveyard is pretty cool. Sounds like a real history lesson. Why do they keep it locked? Keep out vandals?
Probably to keep vandals out and the homeless

Hi Fiona ❤️
Ivy is used on gravestones to represent many meanings. When ivy appears to cling to or climb up the headstone, it represents friendship and undying attachment. Ivy can also represents immortality. Used by the Victorians to decorate graves, unfortunately it now runs rampant x
It does and even though I absolutely love it, it destroys everything eventually
Beautiful stones,my goodness!❤😊
Glad you like them!
Looks like it was vented till maybe the last person was put in, and them sealed
Definitely
I thought from a distant it was a washing machine, so glad its not
It sure is strange
It’s a shame the community doesn’t get together to tend to these old graveyards and cemeteries
It is, sad to see
Amazing the different stones
They are beautiful 😍
Ireland has cornered the market on the most interesting , melodious names. People, towns, whatever - everything beautifully named.
Thank you ❤️
It's not a spear it is the sponge of vinegar on a stick ❤
Wow. Very Biblical.
Loads and Loads of Interesting Masonry there ☠️ 👍

Scythe like GV mentioned... Grimm Reaper! 😮
Yes, I just couldn't think of the word 😅
@SerenitySueGraveyards happens alot to me. I then remember a word a day after I had forgotten it. Eureka! Lol.
Such a beautiful place.
It really is!
Some of the inlaid stones you visited looked to glow with an otherworldly light! Perhaps it's just my perception but I thought perhaps they were inlaid with special stones!
It was beautiful
That ivy is a nuisance ! Just imagine living in the 17th century…lol no mobiles .
I couldn't cope lol
Agreed. Some people have a fit when it's removed but how else to see the headstone? I wouldn't want mine taken over by ivy and weeds.
Very good…
Thanks ❤️
