Guerin the Duharra Stone Carver

I posted on my facebook page recently about spotting the stonecarver name L. Guerin in Burgessbeg graveyard.

Going back over some photos I noticed that the same stonecarver had signed some gravestones at Youghalarra graveyard as well. 

Thanks to the graveyard committee who carried out some great work their over the Summer.

These photos suggest his name was Lau probably short for Laurence Guerin.

The stone in Burgessbeg dates to 1799 and the one in Youghalarra I can't make out. This gravestone to Hugh Meagher is another that isn't included in the Ormond Historical Societies survey of the graveyard.
