I'm here from FOTF and I'm very glad Ron shared your channel with us. I've always been in love with Ireland and its wonderful to see places that my g g grandparents and before may have walked. Thank you!
Found your channel courtesy of Ron from FOTF. Beautiful music, excellent photography, and you are very respectful in the graveyard. I’m now a new subscriber. Looking forward to your videos.
these headstones are much easier to read and less washed away than here in the States. what type of stone is used and are they in the same condition from that time frame. I really like your channel thank you so much for your time to bring these Cemetery's for us to see
The markers reflect the Quaker testimony of equality so they used to have no markers(headstones) at all, they they used wood and slate, I think now they still use simple graves and everyone seems to have the same headstone, which I think are probably granite. Some are very hard to read where as others are easier.
So beautiful..bringing these to light ✨ I love ur soft voice and the background music ..looking forward to ur next clip..so interesting thanks for sharing 👍
I wish there was someone to clear around all the stones. Thereis not alot like theold Irish graveyards but like you said there are mounds which need to be remembered. Is hurts my heart for they lived and had lives and loves and work and homes😢. Thanx Sue for being there for them. Much love to you for doing this.❤😊❤😊
Thank you for stopping in a Quaker Cemetery. I had ancestors who came to the US from Ireland at the invitation of William Penn. Many of the Quakers who came to Ireland were from Wales. Davis is a Welsh surname which is why you are probably seeing it a lot.
New subscriber; I came from "Faces of the Forgotten " channel. I am a member of Ron's gang!!! Wishing you the best in your new channel 👍🏻a hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hi Sue just come from Ron channel faces of the forgeten beautiful video music is gorgeous and have subscribed, enjoying your videos can't wait to see more of your videos
Yes, the Quakers have a long history in Ireland. They were instrumental in providing relief to their starving neighbors during the Great Hunger of the 1840s.
Beautiful video! You know I have been to Ireland, although it was quite some time ago. I went to lots of abandoned castles and big abandoned churches, but I never thought to check out any cemeteries, wish I would have.
Such a beautiful burial ground. Quakers have such pure hearts. The uniformity of the gravestones is in keeping with Quaker traditions. Not for them some monstrosity which is only for show.
This is very interesting. We have a Quaker meeting house about 7 miles away as well as a few of their burial grounds or a section devoted to their burials in local cemeteries. Many of the names you are seeing there are the same as those seen here in Vermilion co. Illinois. I was unaware that we had a Quaker community until I was introduced to my friend Anna. She is the person who told me of their customs and she was kind enough to take me to one of their services. She also showed me their graves as well as the private (headstone less) graves of the Amish.
Are there still Friends of Cooladine ( Quakers) in Ireland? If they are still in Ireland they need to raise money to maintain this graveyard. Quakers were staunch opponents of slavery and their graves should be kept in good condition.
Hi Sarah, yes there meeting place is not far from here, just in enniscorthy, you know I wondered about it too but now as I learn, I wonder do they opt for this more simple burial ground for the reason of there testimonials of simplicity
I actually thought reading the title you meant you were showing us the grave of the guy who invented the Quaker Oats. No disrespect meant at all. I’ve subbed to your channel as it reminds me of when my dear late mother & myself use to walk around the ancient church yards & marvel at the old tomb stones when I was a child. I have Irish descendants on my mother’s side that use to own race horses & were wealthy by all accounts. Thank you for these videos, I’ll enjoy them at leisure 🥀
Hi! I have been researching my family tree and found my 7th great grandmother, Persis Thompson who died in 1811. Quaker records said she is buried at Cooladine. I was on pins and needles hoping I would see her stone on your video. Her husband was Thomas Thompson. Did you see any Thompsons?
I'm surprised to see the graveyard so neglected. There is another Quaker graveyard in Rosenallis, Laois, where William Edmundson, the first Quaker in Ireland is buried and it it beautifully maintained (At least it was when I was there last). There must be no Quakers left in the Cooladine area which is a real shame and a loss to the community.
Great video thx. If you are ever in Co Mayo, Ballycastle, In the catholic church, right at the back there is what was called the grave of the unknown soldier, named now. And has a stone. He was the last body to be washed up from the sinking of the anadorra star, a cruise ship taking german and italian prisoners to canada i think, and was ironically sank by a Uboat, i forget his name but my ex gf lived there. and he was from Devon where i live in England, he has a sad story and a very young man being a guard on the ship. Again thanks for the great video. One more thing. Strangely before finding this out, i bought a menu from the Anadorra star at an antique shop, and he lived near me, and my girlfriend was in Ballycastle, how strange ? .
@@SerenitySueGraveyards he is worth a research and to go again one day sue, with info i can get you military info, you can research ship etc what a lovely video that would be he was buried alone at back, nobody knew who he was, i think he had a sister, didnt make the funeral to his name, i can send you the menu from 1938 and i own his medals also, a truly forgotten soldier, he had belongings also, im sure they had his watch.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards if you pay attention more i m sure you would be able to sense something more, may be after your shooting your videos just be around in silence.. They always have something to say we just have to be vigilant
The sound quality is SOOOOOO much clearer on this video!! BRILLIANT!! XXXX
Thank you, I'm learning editing as I go, so yes I can see improvement in my videos 🍀🇮🇪

Wow I don't think there were Quakers in Ireland learned something new great episode
I'll be visiting more burial grounds soon, yes they are called friends nowadays and they have meeting here in wexford
Yes, the Quakers have a long history in Ireland. They were instrumental in providing relief to their starving neighbors during the Great Hunger of the 1840s.
Beautiful video! You know I have been to Ireland, although it was quite some time ago. I went to lots of abandoned castles and big abandoned churches, but I never thought to check out any cemeteries, wish I would have.
We are so lucky here with a huge amount of history, some great churches and graveyards magnificent castles and I feel blessed here
Such a beautiful burial ground. Quakers have such pure hearts. The uniformity of the gravestones is in keeping with Quaker traditions. Not for them some monstrosity which is only for show.
Yes they really are, they are believe in equality and therefore opt for headstones of equal size and worth, there's something very special in that
Great video mam❤️👌👌👌
Thank you 🍀🇮🇪❤️

They are a very respectful group and lead simple lives, I love finding their burial places ❤️
The entire cemetery is beautiful, the headstones are amazing!
Looks like a meadow of grass and wildflowers, simple but gorgeous
@@SerenitySueGraveyards complete Quaker fashion, simplistic, yet beautiful.
I think you put a smile on GOD'S face when you do these vids, reminds everyone how precious every life is. 💕
That's beautiful ❤️🇮🇪🍀

That video is a year old now, I actually can't remember to be honest x

There must be no Quakers left in the Cooladine area which is a real shame and a loss to the community.
I've found a few that were left like that, so sad
@@SerenitySueGraveyards It might be worth a visit if you are ever up that way.
Ohh going to film now...wow
Brilliant
I love this
Thank you 🇮🇪🍀❤️
Name of music ….. just beautiful
Beyond the moon is name of music ❤️🇮🇪🍀
I am wondering why all the Quaker burial grounds are so unkempt? Any ideas......
Maybe because they are so old? Or maybe thats the way they wanted to be left, simple lives, I'm just guessing to be fair
