Hill of Ward Cemetery


I still havent found the GGrand parents, Jacks parents, but we did manage to locate their parents and their parents all buried in one site at the Hill of the Ward, near Athboy.


The grave is illegible but for a few words, the inscription was verified by using a rubbing taken around 1900's and records I have found and verified through the Meath County Heritage Society, I will publish what the stone says later, for us kids these are GG, and GGG grandparents to the early 1700's , all Cassidys. I also now have the GPS coordinates for this site , so anyone else can use these to avoid the long search this always takes to find...

My name is Eileen Blackwell - my grandmothers aunts and their parents were the cassidys whose grave you are pictured in front of on the hill of ward. My mother and I were at the grave three weeks ago-she was originally there to bury the last of the great great aunts in the 70's - Margaret Cassidy of mill house athboy. We have been desperately trying to piece together a family tree-was your relative a brother / sister to John valentine and Peter Cassidy? John valentine was the father of the gg aunts I mentioned above. I would be very grateful to hear from you
