Cantwell memorial inscriptions: Templeudigan

Continuing with Brian J. Cantwell's "Memorials to the Dead", this time in Templeudigan, County Wexford.
We have visited Templeudigan before in this blog and here's where it is on the map - as you can see, not far from Ballyanne and Palace (Pallas), and indeed Palace (Pallace) gets another mention in this particular grave stone, so maybe this is the extended family of the Fitzhenrys of Ballyanne.

The inscription comes from what is described as an "altar tomb" (a flat stone covering a graved raised up so it resembles an altar) for the Doyle family. The line breaks are as given in Cantwell's transcription.

Here lies the body of Philip Doyle late of
Pallace who departed this life the 8th of
June 1849 aged 84 years
Also his wife
Catherine Doyle who departed this life
5th Septr 1854 aged 81 yrs
beneath are deposited the remains of the
late Thomas Doyle Esqr of Templeudigan
who departed this life October 20th
1865 aged 51 years
May Jesus receive his soul Amen
By whom this tomb was erected

Nicholas Fitzhenry who died

also Nicholas Fitzhenry who died
Jan 24th 1909 aged 62 years
