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.

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.

I too have birth records for Stanalone, part of the Townland of Ballyhacket Lisawilling in the Parish of Dunboe.  In the local graveyard (St Mary's) there are headstones denoting residents of Stanalone.  Civil registration records show Articlave, Coleraine as the Registration District.
Best wishes, Mac

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

Hi
St Mary's graveyard appears on the website www.discovereverafter.com (if you type St Mary's, Dunboe into Google you'll find it).  My grandmother and some of her siblings were born at Stanalone in the 1880s.  I have also traced records from the First Dunboe Presbyterian church in Articlave relating to births at Stanalone from the 1850s/60s.  Mac
