Which church is which?

MonaghanAghabog (Monaghan)

Ireland Reaching Out - www.irelandxo.comWent to Aghabog. Met a very nice woman named Peggy Gavan who directed me to a church for the Aghabog parish. Found many Gavan stones, but no Gavin. Peggy said Gavan/Gavin/Gaven all same thing. Also said her husband also said Gavins came to Monaghan from Mayo. Any connections?

Question is, this is the church I went to. Not the same one as in your picture. Is there another? And if so, does anyone know if there is a Joseph and Bridget Gavin buried there? 

thanks

Nancy

Dear Nancy

I have been going through some old posts and see that yours is unanswered. Has anyone been in touch with you or answered your query since the time of posting?

No, Clare, I have not heard back from anyone.

Dear Nancy

I apologise for the poor response to date, your post must have been mistakenly overlooked (which is a poor excuse). I relation to the photo, I am not sure it is the Church in Aghabog, as far as I recall the Aghabog church has a bell tower.

Do you have any further info about the Gavin connection to Co. Mayo ? names and/or dates to focus the search? We don?t have a volunteer in Aghabog yet, but I might be able to assist on the Mayo side of things.

Best wishes
