Hi, This Link migh be useful.

It's from the Roscommon Graveyard and shows the headstone of Patrick Haggart & his wife Margaret & some of their children.

Alexander Haggart came from Scotland and was employed as a gamekeeper.

I remember meeting Pat Haggart & the Curleys from Roscommon many times in the company of my father (a grandson of Alexander Haggart).
