Browsing through a useful old book published in 1872 called " A Collection of Curious and Interesting Epitaphs.....in the Cemeteries and Churches of St. Pancras, Middlesex" I found the following entry relating to a Kilkenny family:-
In Memory of Anne, daughter of the Honourable Charles and Lady Sarah B Clarke Wandesforde of Castle Comer, Ireland and Kirklington Hall, Yorkshire; who departed this life on the 24th day of October 1836 aged 9 years.
This is listed as in the Church of St Michael's Highgate, North London. Castlecomer is in the north part of county Kilkenny. The Hon. Charles Clarke Wandesforde married in 1812 Lady Sarah Butler, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Carrick. She died in 1838. The above daughter Anne is not mentioned in the Wandesforde entry in The Landed Gentry of Ireland published in 1912.
A useful memorial entry as it predates civil registration in England which started in 1837
A blog devoted to Kilkenny Graveyards and Burial Places, only occasionally straying beyond the county boundaries. All the pictures and information have been collected by Mary Casteleyn, Irish genealogist and Bernie Kirwan, a genealogist deeply immersed in the history and genealogy of those who once lived in county Kilkenny.
