Hi, list:

Here are the names someone found for me in the Irish
Memorials of the Dead. They cover wealthy people
whose names would be carved on church walls,
etc., not people needing to emigrate to avoid
starvation.

These are only the
ones in the general index that were in volumes i, ii
and iii -- the index covers 7 volumes but the others
are lost.

'I have to thank the Most Rev. Dr. Comerford, D.D., for

Fethard, in this county. The annexed plate is from a
rubbing kindly sent me by Dr. Comerford:
HOC ALTARE . FIERI FECIT . |
D . PAV . HAQVETUS | VICARIUS .
FIDERDIAE . 1636." |

'This inscription, in incised capitals, is cut round
the edges. it may be thus translated: Mr Paul Hacquet,
vicar of Fethard, had this altar made [in] 1636.

'It was found in the ruins of an old house at
Maryborough, some years since.

'"None but stone altars can be used for celebration of
Mass; and to meet the requirements of missionary
countries, it is permitted to consecrate stone slabs
for the purpose, of sufficient dimensions to contain
the host and chalice; it is sometimes set in the middle
of a wooden altar."'

is used as a holy water vessel in the chapel, Cashel,
and its stone lid is built into the wall of St. John's
churchyard.
