Title: St John’s Church, Dunnalong
Post by: my-irish-family on Tuesday 13 August 24 13:02 BST (UK)

Hi,

My dad has mentioned that a fair few of our ancestors are buried in St John’s. I was wondering if anyone would know if this church kept records or if there is a way to find out who was buried here? I’m unsure if any of my ancestors have headstones but I know one, Matilda Ogilby, died roughly in the early 1960s (my dad’s grandmother) and is buried here. I’ve checked on Find a Grave but there are only 20 memorials recorded.

Apologies, I’m not really clued up on researching ancestry in County Tyrone, most of my research has been localised to County Londonderry and I’m in unchartered waters, so to speak :)

Thank you
Lara

They are in Local Custody.

burials, 1902-; registers of vestrymen, 1870-.

If you didn't already know, St John's Church of Ireland is in the village of Bready (townland Drumgahty) in the civil parish of Donaghedy.
