    The old suncroft graveyard is on the brownstown to suncroft road. Traveling from brownstown its on the right hand side of the road about 2 miles from brownstown. You cant really miss it.

    As for the records, suncroft parish priest would be your best bet for these.

    The caretaker/registrar of suncroft graveyards is this lady, Her name is listed on several websites so i don't think there's a problem posting here.

    Hi. The old Suncroft graveyard is actually the one in the centre of the village. The other one mentioned above is the Carna graveyard. It is quite small and somewhat overgrown. A lot of my family are actually buried there.

    not to sure check church or with the priest his house is say
    traveling into suncroft from brownstown go past the shop then about 70 yards there is an estate on your left and the priests house is actually on the left hand corner straight away when you turn in off the main road it would of been there before the estate was built
