STANTON Aughaval Cemetery Search
We visited the Aughagower Cemetery in 2010 on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Denis Madigan Stanton when we were in search of his family roots
Aughaval is in Westport, County Mayo
Location of Augoghower Cemetery.
We know that Andrew Stanton married Peggy Grady in the Catholic St. Mary’s Church in the centre of Westport. Many of Westport’s residents were buried in this old Cemetry. Thanks to the IRISH GRAVEYARD ASSOCIATIONhttp://irishgraveyards.ie/plot.php?plotno=129A&yardid=119§ion=OldLeft we have located many Stauntons. In particular we were searching for Walter Stanton who was born circa 1780/90 and who is the forefather of our branch of the Stanton family not only here in Scotland but also who are now scattered throughout the world.
If any of the Staunton or Stanton family from Westport can help us in our quest please contact us by leaving a comment below.
