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
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.

Hubert Staunton was born in 1806. Could he have been related to our Walter born circa 1790. The Cemetery records do not give a place of residence for this Walter.

Hello, I don’t know if you can help me or not. I live in England and want to visit the grave of Joseph Maher 29/12/1933 – 17/07/1998 in Aughavale cemetery. I cannot find the location of the grave or a map of the cemetery. If you please help or point me n the write direction, I would really appreciate it.
Ideally I would like a map emailed to me showing the location of the grave.
Thank you,
Kevin Greenhill
