Notes: 

William - Ardcath Register of Interments records his date of death as 16.12.1996.

Billy was a little eccentric with his sports jacket and cap. He always had a big smile when talking to him. He had a following of people from far and wide who believed he had a gift of curing ???. He always left mass after Communion so he could get home and meet his guests coming for a cure. From his little cottage in the far end of the Cloghan at the top of the hill at Heatown he grew vegatable and flowers. His Patron Day dahlias were very popular with the locals for adding to home made wreaths.
