Burial Database for Athleague Old Cemetery

 

Athleague Old Cemetery

 

Athleague Old Cemetery is situated at the old Protestant Church, now the Angling & Visitor Centre, in Athleague, Co. Roscommon. A graveyard survey was carried out some years ago and manuscript records made. These records, which appear to be incomplete, are kept at the Centre.

The records consist of three separate documents

–        a list of names and burial details (with some additional notes from the 1901 census)

–       a transcript of the headstone inscription. (This is given under “More Information” but many stones were unreadable and some records seem to be missing?), and

–        maps showing the location of the headstones in relation to the church.

 

This Burial Database has been constructed from the first two records, with additional information, where available included under the “More Information” column. The database is arranged alphabetically by Surname.

 

The information is taken directly from the records and errors and omissions are to be expected. Corrections, where they come to light, will be included later under the “More Information” column.
