Notes: 

NB.  Coolbee / Coolboy, &  Monemore, Emly.  

NB.  The  name  ML.  Beary  is  inscribed  after  the word  Amen.  This  is possibly the  name  of  the  monumental  sculptor  but  one  cannot  be sure,  given  that  this family  were  known  as  Beary / Bourke.

The  co-erector of  this  headstone, Michael   Bourke, son  of  David  Bourke  of  Coolboy, Emly, married  Margaret Beary (1811-1873), daughter  of  Thomas  Beary  &  Catherine  Ryan  of  Ballyneety,  Templebredon,  in  Templebredon  RC  on  the  05-2-1840 and  future  generations  of the  family  were known  as  Beary / Bourke, hence  the  initial B  in  their  name, as  can  be  seen in  the  adjacent t memorial  0228.

The  inscription  on  the  base  of   this memorial  also  appears  on memorial  0228.

Children  born  to  Michael  Bourke  &  Margaret  Beary, were  as  follows :  Catherine  1841, David (1842-1907), John  1844. Thomas  1849 & Matthew  1853.  

David  Bourke (1842-1907), son  of  Michael  Bourke  &  Margaret  Beary, married  Mary  Coffey (1854-1920), daughter  of  Thomas  Coffey  &  Julia  Murphy  of  Lodge,  Hospital,  Co. Limerick, in Hospital  RC on  the  11-2-1885.

Children  born  to  David  Bourke  &  Mary  Coffey  were  as  follows :  Margaret  1886, Michael (1887-1962),  Julia  1890 and  Mary  1892.

Michael  Bourke  (1887-1962), son  of  David  Bourke  & Mary  Coffey, married   Hanora  (Nora) Hannon  (1896-1971), daughter  of  James  Hannon &  Catherine  Hayes  of  Ballinahow,  Bruis, Lattin parish Co. Tipperary in 1927.
