I recently attended the Moore family cemetery in Moore Hall , Carnacun , co Mayo, their house was burned down in early 1923. There are a lot of republicans buried in Mayo as well and even Frank Stagg the hunger striker that died in 1976, I saw the army escorted hearse pass through the little Town of Balla central Mayo. There are many people buried from both sides of the civil war in that village, but a lot of the graves were only marked with large slabs. There are also a few people buried there that fought and died in ww1 , most had joined up with lure of good money they could send home to family and they were also told it would be a doddle. RIP all. 🙏🙏

Thank you Brian and Adrian for the stories regarding Sligo Cemetery. Brian helped myself out with regards to the McNally family that are buried in the cemetery and had the pleasure of meeting him and hearing some of the stories .

Thank you both, Brian and Adrian, and videographer. Excellent stories of Sligo families' histories!

Just watched the mesmerizing walking video. Praying for the peace and well-being of this enchanting city. Happy New Year!

Really enjoyed this . I love hearing the stories of the old graves and the life’s of the people who rest there 🙏🏻

Greetings from Canada. My Doctor is from Sligo so I thought I'd take a virtual tour. No visit is complete without a stop at the graveyard. I'm glad I did

Noice

LADS DO A NIIGHT TOUR!!!

The term "Took the soup" is a highly derogatory term. Virtually no Catholics converted to a protestant faith for taking a 'soup bribe', but it was a myth that was carried on by Catholics with a chip on their shoulders. Protestants with Irish names are 99.9% from mixed marriages. BTW my mother is an Anglican and father Roman Catholic...I know Murphys, O'Neills, Fitzpatricks who are prods, all mixed marriages. Good video by the way.

Fair play to you Brian. This is a very interesting look at our cemetery. Thank you

You know a John Scanlon that married a Nellie Coen of Gleann Sooey? Nellie's oldest brother was born St Patrick's Day, 1878 Her mother Anne Gillen, her father James Coen

i am a grandaughter of Patrick Coen, Gleann Sooey. I been there several times. And my grandmother of cloonamahon Gunnings. I guess i have relatives in your cemetery

Wat hes calling volts has nothing to do with burial.they were old world electric generators that works from the energy in the air hence why there called volts. Voltage

Twas a grand tour

I probably have more than a few relatives in your care. The video was very informative and very well done. I did wonder about the 20 year old fellow shot on the border. The headstone used the word "accidentally". Was it an accident or was he shot on purpose? So much sadness eased by time. Thank you, Tim

Thank you for the tour, both educational and entertaining - well done

My great grandmother came from County Lietrim early 20th century. No doubt her family are buried in the poor Catholic section of a cemetery somewhere. Nice to get some background, as the story goes.

Well done.

Fascinating. Great to hear from someone who is so knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. I’m from Sligo and my family are buried there, have often been in Sligo Cemetery but learned to much from that tour. Thank you.

Very intereseting video and will be helpful when I finally make the trip over to Sligo. My great grandfather was Martin Scanlon (1843-1902) who married Honoria McGoldrick (born 1848) at StJohns in 1869 and worked for the Wood-Martins most of his life. Presumably they will be both be buried somewhere within Sligo cemetery seeing as St Johns would have been full by then?

Sligo...❤🇪🇦❤🇮🇪❤

Now here is a man that has his homework done. Good job 👍

Must have passed the gates hundreds of times when I lived in Sligo. Fascinating stories well told. Thank you!

Fab piece of history thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Great knowledge Brian!

Love it.

Thank you Brian for such an interesting and informative tour. Although I left Sligo in 1966 I visit the cemetery regularly as my parents are buried there. I enjoyed the stories and remember many of the connections you referred to. Well done also to the production team.

Thank you for sharing your tour. My Father, Patrick Joseph Scanlon, born 1926, was brought up in Sligo town. His Father died when he was 15. My Dad came to London in the 50’s where he met and married my Mum. I am 60 this year and planing on visiting Sligo for the first time in my life. I was so taken with the stories you told around the people buried in the cemetery. Thank you and really hope to visit soon. Keep well. Kindest regards. Kevin

Great tour Cake! Fascinating stuff. Looking forward to more.

Thank you

Brian, I just watched your Wounderful Story, What a Mind of Information you are. Thank you So Much.I enjoyed it So Much.

Hello from mayo!

Thank you Brian Scanlon, my family is from Sligo County, was great to see your tour, hoping to be there one day to look amongst the cemetary. Wanted to touch base with you if possible, I was born Scanlon, am guessing we are related through our family trees. Cheers, lynne

I ♥ Sligo, I'm just in love with Sligo. I wish I will be there someday. Love to my Irish brothers and sisters ♥

Delightful and illuminating tour.

if you need channel promotion, I recommend Utify.io, I've tested it. <

Well done Brian. I really enjoyed your tour of the cemetery and your knowledge of those resting there.

This is so interesting. Thank you so much for making it. Awesome job.

Thank you Mr. Scanlon. My Grandparents and my mothers family were from Sligo.( Moore family) My mother emigrated to the USA. My husband and I visited the cemetery in June, 2015 to find my grandparents grave. My cousin (lives in Australia now) told me to speak to you to help find my grandparents graves. Unfortunately you were not available the days that we were in Sligo. Thank you so much for this virtual tour. Very interesting.

Brilliant production and brilliant knowledge. Top class watch!

I'm from Sligo and I always wondered about the old graveyard. Thanks so much I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed that!

Well done to all concerned and thank you.

Wonderful tour, well delivered, very informative. Congratulations Brian. Kevin & Stella Gordon

Wow. Fantastic. Huge thank you to all involved! Great job Brian, I have always loved walking the old cemetery it is great to get information on the graves and head stones.

Hi from New Zealand. We were in Sligo in 2016 researching my Gt. Grandfather's family who originally came from there. (He emigrated to NZ from Bradford UK in 1879) Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our few days there. Unfortunately the trail has gone cold, but we did come back with some further avenues to explore and will return again to see if we can locate the family another time. Really enjoyed your wander through the cemetery - certainly some colourful (and tragic) stories and lots of other interesting bits and pieces thrown in tas well!
