GRAVEYARDS IN DUAGH

KerryDuagh (Kerry)

Hi there

I visited Duagh last weekend and met up with some lovely friendly people who were very helpful in my quest to find my ancestors home place.  I then visisted the local cemetery.  However, I didnt find any Patrick McElligott who died in January 1904 age 103 years or his wife Johanna McElligott (nee Halpin) who I believe also died around that time..  I was just wondering if there is another graveyard around Duagh where they may have been buried. ???

Hi Doreen,

Did you visit St Brigid's to find out where she was buried?  My grandparents are in the Duagh graveyard, but at that time the family was too poor to buy a headstone for their grave, so their grave is unmarked.  If you google the Knockanure photo site on photobucket there is a graveyard album with numerous local graveyard photos.  I found a photo of my uncles' headstone in the Duagh cemetary on that site.

Hi Joanne

Thanks for your reply,  I had a look on the Knockanure photosite, but unfortunately did'nt find anything.  It s very possible that they are buried in an unmarked grave.  .  Anyway, I got some helpful  information via e-mail a local man about my family, so fingers crossed I will make a living connection very soon.

 

Regards
