We know that the English family was in Gullane East no later than the 1820s, and we know that there are English stones for burials after Edmund left Ireland. It seems likely that this would be the burial place of all our Gullane ancestors. There is a "new" Kilconly cemetery, but it was a bit further away from Gullane.
"Kilconly graveyard and the remains of Kilconly church nestle in a small field just off the scenic Wild Atlantic Way route (S) as you head towards Ballybunion on the Beale coastal road. A walk around this church and small graveyard is a spiritual and uplifting experience. The church itself is very, very old; according to archaeologists, the building dates back to the 12th century. This would place Kilconly at the end of the Early Christian Period and the dawn of the Medieval Period." Ballybunnion.ie
