Old Rossorry Graveyard, Enniskillen.
compiled by Séamas Mac Annaidh
This graveyard which is in the care of Fermanagh District Council is at the top of Rossole Road,
and is not to be confused with that at Rossorry Parish Church (Church of Ireland). Both
Catholics and Protestants are buried here. The new parish church at Rossorry was first used for
services in April 1840 though it was more than a year later when the church was finally
consecrated by Bishop Tottenham and it was 1842 before the first burial took place in the new
cemetery. [William Johnston, of Willoughby Place, Portora was buried 1 February 1842 aged 30
years.]
During this visit I completed reading several stones which had been giving me problems and also
uncovered a number of previously unrecorded stones. There are still a few inscriptions to be
fully deciphered and the possibility remains of locating others. There are also some interesting
crests and symbols which also should be copied.
Relevant newspaper notices have been included as well as several which may refer to the
families of, if not the actual individuals named on stones.
Following a visit to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland 26 October 2000 where the
Church of Ireland burial register is available on microfilm (MIC 1/22) I have added many entries
in italics covering the years 1799 to 1840. In the early years this register is impossible to read in
places and does not appear to be complete. However after 1824 the legibility greatly improves
and I have included all entries except those of which were difficult to read with certainty.
