	This is not found in the Register which is defective
        about that date; but there is a John Anderson buried

	(2)  Joseph Darlington, son of (1). (Register Mr. 
        Joseph Darlington fromDublin.  Age 24. Jan. 10 1797.

	This stone was found buried & raised in October 1897.

252.	Old stone evidently moved here from some other situation.
        No inscription remains.

253.	Child's grave (Mrs. Gaffney ?  J.A.C.)  But the name 
        Gaffney does not occur in the Register.

254.	Three graves here belong to the Moodys. 256 is certainly 
        one of them & probably 254 & 255 are the other two, but possibly 
257 & 258.
	George is buried in 256 q.v.  Besides him there are 
        buried here:-
	Thomas Moody, his father.  Age 62.  1864.
	Addison Moody, his uncle.  Age 61.  1867. 
	And perhaps also:-
	William Moody, his brother.  Age 18.  1854.
	Marianne Moody, his sister.  Age 2.  1847.

	There are also in the register:-
255.	James Moody.  Age 66.  Sept. 2  1831.

257. 	Òold stone, sunkÓ J.A.C.

	(John Hill Grosvernor Cottage.  Age 42.  March 14  1875.
        So J.A.C. , but a mistake for he is buried at 337)  
        see 258 below*. 

258.	Thos. Hill, Castle St.  Age 78.  Sept. 7  1872. 
        So J.A.C.  but see below:-

	* J.A.C. has a marginal note to these two graves 
        - Jerry and Thos. Little Bray - so probably he made a wrong 
        identification from the Register afterwards in putting John
        1875 to 257. It is more likely to have been James Hill, Bray 
        Commons.  Age 51.  April 11  1858.

	But according to Mrs. Sam Smith, Jerry and Thos. Hill 
        were both buried alongside of Harpurs, see 216.
