Sound Island - Brinston Point Roman Catholic Cemetery

This is the Catholic cemetery on Sound Island. The info came from two sources. I have pictures taken by Arthur Doyle (his mother was Marguarite Browne of Sound Island) when he went to Sound Island to clean up the grave yard and put up a new headstone, attended by descendants of Patrick Brown's (1791-1880) three sons - Philip, James and Michael. I also received info from a relative who visited there during the Sound Island reunion and copied some of the info.
The information on these headstones was gathered by BRENDA YOUNG, July 2000. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
