Crookedwood Townland

Hi Judith

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

You don't say what religion your ancestor was but if you look at the link attached it should give an indication of what graveyards are in the area. Just open it and search for Taghmon and will provide the info:

Hello Judith,

 

Unfortunately there does not appear to be any online resources for the immediate cemetery nearby at Taughmon. Looking at recent obituaries for people from Crookedwood  they all appear to be buried at the site indicated. A link to the church is provided with a streetview link and google map direction. In addition there was a historic burial ground/church a short distance away in the townland of Toberaquill (routemap from google provided below)

 

Church of the Assumption, Taughmon

I have made the assumption they were not Church of Ireland.

 

 

Thank you to everyone who responded to my query.  I have my work cot out for me :)
