Gaganstown Cemetery

KildareJago (Kildare)

Looking for information about Gaganstown Cemetery.  In the Newspaper deaths notices I have found it is also spelled Geogheganstown/Geganstown/Gaginstown.  Those notices list James Fay (senior)  d. 29 Sep 1879, Edward Fay d. 20 Jan 1896, and James Fay (junior) d. 31 May 1886 all buried there.  James Fay senior was married to Mary Anne Coatesworth in 1832 at Kilcullen but the fay family lived and had shops in Dunlavin.  Are there any headstones or burial lists?  Any connections to the Fay or Coatesworth families?
