I am looking to find a gravestone in Cashalard Cemetery of Michael McGarrigle I have been told he was buried there. His wife was Bridget Maguire they married in 1877 in Ballyshannon.  I have their children Daniel, Michael, Him(James), Ellen, Mary Anne, and Sarah.   This is the only lead I have does anyone know who I can contact to find out anything about Michael McGarrigle please.

McGarrigle lived around Ballyshannon listed on the Ballyshannon electors list of 1939/40 are you a RC you could try St. Joseph RC Church, The Rock, Ballyshannon, County Donegal.  They are not happy about giving information out by phone or post anymore owing to fraud.  McGarrigle play Irish football for Ballyshannon team Aodh Ruadh photo of McGarrigle on their site if you go through one of the search eng. like google when the box come up type in Aodh Ruadh
there was a very good site for Ballyshannon but it seems have gone missing.
Have you tried the phone books for Ballyshannon. McGarrigle still living in Ballyshannon.

The Michael McGarrigle I am looking for must have been born c1840/50's as he married in a Civil marriage in 1877. I am not RC I live in Carmarthenshire Wales and have been tracing the McGarrigle tree in Ireland for over a year now but cannot seem to find anything about Daniel McGarrigle's father Michael and mother Bridget.
Daniel McGarrigle was born in 1884 married Mary Ann Devenie 28th Nov 1911 at the RC Chapel of St. Brigid - Daniel died on the 5th July 1951 at Drumchorrick Ederney.
Are you able to tell me if there is an office I could write to at Cashalard Cemetery....not sure how things work in Ireland.
We have an office at our cemeteries where they do look ups for you.
Thank you for your help.

The marriage cert of Michael should state his fathers name and also the townland where he resided.
Very few cemeteries in Donegal have tombstones pre dating 1900 so you are unlikely to find a tombstone. Likewise burial records were not kept until recently.

Yes on his marriage certificate his address is Drimanillar and Bridget Maguire's address is Umracam.  Michael McGarrigle's father is Daniel a farmer and Bridget's was John a shoemaker.  No ages were on the certificate just over 21.
Any possible help would be appreciated.

St. Mary's Church with ajoining Cemetery spelt Cashelard Ballyshannon
came across Michael McGarrigle border at 10 Cashelard age 71 on the 1911 cenus of ballyshannon

The only Daniel McGarrigle on Griffiths Valuation lived just over the border in Co Fermanagh but still in Ballyshannon Union

I did see Michael McGarrigle on the 1911 census but thought it wouldn't be the correct one as he is single.
I was looking for one married or widowed.  There is another Michael McGarrigle aged 75 he is a widower and a farmer at Derryrona Glebe Belleek Fermanagh but cannot say whether this is him or not.

Do you have Daniel's birth cert - there was a Daniel McGarrigle birth registered Oct - Dec 1882 in Ballyshannon District which covers part of Donegal and part of Fermanagh
