Catholic Burials near Aughnacloy

[noseyjosey]

 Has anyone any idea where Catholic people were buried in the Aughnacloy area? The Chapel in the main street was not built until around 1900 but there must be an older graveyard. I know there were three barn type churches at Dernabane which was known as  the Quarry Chapel, Killens and the Hopps chapel near Caledon, There are no burial records as far as I know. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks for the advice. I phoned and got the information I needed. In case anyone else is interested Catholics were buried in a Church of Ireland cemetery off the Aughnacloy to Ballygawley  road. There are some headstones  but no surviving records.

Which Cemetery?

The priest just said the Church of Ireland cemetery. I googled Tullyvar Road and cemetery and there is a photo of the gates. I won't rush to visit as its unlikely there is a headstone. Another brick wall!

I think the Church of Ireland church is St. James', Carnteel-

The burial I am  interested in would be in the 1840s. I have checked Carnteel C of I for baptisms etc but I think this person was a Catholic married to a  Protestant. Her children are in the C of I records but at least three married Catholics. Their Father died a young man and she was left with small children and  a 30 acre farm which she seems to have managed to keep. Her name was Catherine Conway and she married  Thomas Henderson about 1808. I could not find the marriage. Maybe she just came from a different parish and is buried there but as I don'tknow when she died I am grasping at straws! I am not even sure she was Catholic but it seems odd that her son's would marry as they did.

Thanks to all. I found this information very useful. I am looking for family members born prior to 1845 in Aughnacloy to  Peter/Neles McNamee a shoemaker. This explains why I can not find any births except one in 1846.

Welcome to RootsChat 

Civil registration of births only started in Ireland in 1864. So, before that date, church records (if they are in existence) will need to be found, and you will need an idea of location (parish if not actual townland) and religion.
