Look up the name GRILLS

“Oft shall glowing hope expire

Oft shall wearied love retire

Oft shall death and sorrow reign

Ere we three shall meet again,"

Answer 2

I'm not sure but I think Petis is in france. It sounds french and Armstrong was a norman if I remember correctly so...

Answer 3

The nearest name I could find in Dundalk is 'Peetustown', or, on the map reference (3) below, spelt 'Petestown'  which sounds similar to 'Petis'.

I found the name Armstrong in the 1865, Louth County voters list:

Voter's Name: Armstrong Thomas J.,

Voter's Address: Peetustown,

Name of Landlord: Lewis Upton,

Barony: Dundalk Lower

If the tomb reference also mentions 'Grills, this name is also listed with an address at 'Peetustown'.  

Sites below, 1. Armstrong reference, 2. Grills reference 3. A map showing Petestown in Carlingford, which according to the map at site 4. is the area known as 'Lower Dundalk'.
