    Maybe not, that description is one of many. Several places have been suggested, for example St Mifchens,St Peters, St Ann’s and St Pauls.

    There is no real evidence to support where he is buried so the mystery continues.
    Indeed, hence my OP JBo.

        This fellow goes for St Peters Aungier Street But who knows?

        Given that there is really no serious evidence to support the theories that Emmet was permanently buried in St Michan's, Glasnevin, St Anne's or the several other graveyards suggested, which are we to believe, Peter or Paul? The evidence in support of St Paul, namely the connection with Kilmainham Gaol through Trevor, cannot be dismissed, but in the writer's opinion is not strong. On balance, I am inclined to accept that the evidence in support of St Peter's is more compelling, namely, the tradition that Robert had been secretly reinterred there, and the likelihood that a proud family like the Emmets, and indeed the patriot's friends, would not allow the patriot's body to lie in an ignominious grave. While the evidence on the ground has been destroyed by rebuilding work and ultimately the demolition of St Peter's, the examination of documentary evidence should continue, and indeed Emmet's most recent biographer appears to indicate that St Peter's was the most likely location of his final resting place. (11) However, we must conclude by stating that the mystery of Emmet's grave has not and may never be conclusively resolved.

        The now demolished St Peter's Church, Aungier Street,
        Dublin, the most probable location of Robert Emmet's grave

                  I was looking at some graveyard records recently now that I decided to revive the family tree. Fingal has some fantastic online resources. The standard of record keeping between graveyards was rather haphazard at times do. Some used what looks like invisible ink, some graveyards have few records for the number of graves present while one graveyard listed the hospital that they died in as residence rather than where they lived. Still a very good resource.

                    You should try Crumlin Graveyard quite close and now closed but open to visitors and you can't look at the records

                      Sometimes when looking for burials from years back and the location of where the ancestor was buried is lost in time a good way is to check the date on the death certs and then look up the newspapers for a death notice around that date which would show where they were going to be buried

                        That link came in very useful. I was an only child and so were both my parents but i found some of my fathers cousins in Balgriffin cemetery, i had often wondered where they were buried. This is another link to cemetery records.Its especially great for Deans Grange & Shanganagh.
