Notes: 

This memorial  is a wall plaque loated inside the nearby  Kilshannig Church. Rev.Lombard  was related to the Lombards of  Lombardstown House who  provided the site in 1821 where the first church in Glantane parish was erected and which then gave its name to the Catholic Parish. The lombards also provided about 6 acres of land across the  road from  Glantane Church in 1822 where a Protestant school and teacher residence were built. The Rev.Lombard received the property on behalf of the Representative Church body, perhaps he influenced that transaction.
