I came across a website earlier that was new to me, entitled The Kabristan Archives: Ireland - Ceylon - India Genealogy, which may be of interest.
Located at http://kabristan.org.uk, it has a section called the Kabristan Indexes, which carries a series of indexed cemetery transcriptions from India, Ireland, Jamaica and Sri Lanka - to access a full transcript you need to place an order at £4 per look up. The site is run by Eileen Hewson, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and area representative for Ceylon/Sri Lanka and Kashmir on behalf of the British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia.
The Irish indexes, my main interest in the site, cover counties Cavan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Sligo, Tyrone, as well as indexes of the memorial inscriptions detailed in The Forgotten Irish - Memorials of the Raj. The details returned in the Irish indexes is name and cemetery only, but that's half the battle dealt with!
Have fun!
