St Michael's Plot, St Ibar's Cemetery, Crosstown

Below you will find, the headstone and burial records relating to St Michael's plot at Crosstown Cemetery, Wexford. Please note that, in cases where children died at
the Industrial School, they were buried, by preference, in their own family plot. If no family plot was available then, from 1894, burial took place at the Industrial
School's Plot. St Ibar's Cemetery, Crosstown, opened around 1892.

The headstone reads ...

"Sacred Heart of Jesus grant eternal rest to the souls of the children of St Michael's School, Mercy Convent"
