Burial register unearths society
Staff from Limerick City Archives, in conjunction with the History Department of Mary Immaculate College of Education, spent two years transcribing thousands of handwritten records of those buried in the cemetery from 1855 to 2008.
The records include the name, age, address, and grave location of the dead. They can be accessed through the council’s website, www.limerickcity.ie, by searching for Mount St Lawrence. Special software, available on the site, is necessary to view the records.
