Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Where or what was 'standalone' in Coleraine c.1845?

Mac, Thank you for your reply.  I'm very interested in the cemetery records of St Mary's as my family was Catholic. Where did you locate the records? I have found my family on the Griffiths valuation. Also from a death record of one of their children. The record was recorded in Articlave. What is the time frame for your Irish Ancestors in Ballyhacket? My family was in the same exact location.  So many questions!!  Thanks Laurie

Gaffy going over my research from Derry county genealogy center, they said that Stanalone was a "place name" not a townland. I am the one that used the term "townland". I am not that familiar with the terms used for "towns,counties and cities" in Ireland. In the US we have states,cities,counties,townships,parishes etc. I'm learning as I'm going. For the past 20 years I have concentrated on the US,Belgium and Luxembourg in my research.

My ancestor Patrick Gillen lived in Ballyhacket Lisawilling and leased property in Ballyhacket Magilligan. So I believe (with documentation!!) that Stanalone is in one of the Ballyhackets in Dunboe,co Derry. I have really enjoyed this small debate over the location of Stanalone. Have tried for years to trace my Irish ancestry and just recently starting uncovering new information.  Very exciting.

I have documentation of Stanalone being in Dunboe,county Derry. According to Coleraine RC baptismal records and Articlave birth registers Stanalone is located in one of the Ballyhackets in Dunboe,county Derry. I also have several letters dated in the 1860's with Stanalone being the place my ancestors lived.  Not sure if there can be more  "Stanalone" townlands or not. I also received this information confirming it from Derry county genealogy center.

The word should be Stanalone not Standalone.  My gr.gr.grandparents lived in Stanalone,Ballyhacket,Dunboe,county Derry,Northern Ireland.  I have been searching for years for the word Stanalone. Just last week I found out the word Stanalone is a townland in Dunboe,county Derry. So I narrowed my search down and with the help of the Derry county genealogy center they were about to tell me where it was located. My gr.grandfather said he was from Coleraine, this is the closest large city to Stanalone. Hope this information has helped. It was a mystery to me for years!! Please feel free to contact me if you'd like.
