My ancestors (John P. Scales, abt. 1843-bef. 1922) and his wife, Mary Cunningham (abt. 1846-Oct. 7 1922) lived at 28 or 29 Moore St. in Kilrush.  He was a cooper by trade.  They had 14 children; most died between the years 1876 and 1911.  I cannot find a burial place for this entire family.  Tried writing St. Senan's Church, but no reply.  Cemeteries listed on-line did not have this family.  Can anyone advise?

The same problem with my other great-grandparents.  Daniel Howard (abt. 1821-April 11, 1891) and his wife, Margaret Purtill (abt. 1830-abt. 1909).  This family lived in Cassarnagh.
