Aughaval (Westport, Dromin) Marriages, Mayo

Aughaval (Westport, Dromin) Marriage Index 1834-35

The following table of Aughaval (Westport, Dromin, Oughaval)  marriages is transcribed from Microfilm No. 4210/8 held online by the National Library of Ireland accessible through their Roman Catholic Parish Register Search page.  This is an index of the names of the people who were married in this Roman Catholic parish during the years 1834-35.  This section of the register is in English.  Placenames are not given.


My list is sorted by the surname of the groom.  Question marks or dots indicate letters or words I had a problem reading and this section of the register was difficult to read.  The first names were shortened in the extreme  e.g. Bt. for Bridget.  Please see my nicknames page.

Jno (John) Carty and Mark Barry?? are noted as being of the 85th Regt.

Oughavale (Aughaval) Graveyard Photographs, Westport, Co. Mayo

These photographs are not here because I have transcribed the stones, no, this time they are here just to show you the size of this graveyard and a bit of the difference between the old and new sections.  The numbers of stones we have in the new area compared to the older area.  It’s so hard to imagine that the older section was probably once as ‘populated’ with stones as the new section.


Also, there is a bleakness about this graveyard. I have a book which deals with the Clew Bay archaeological Train and in that book it says that this graveyard is unusual because it has Protestant and Catholic burials. That statement is incorrect, you will find Catholics buried in most Protestant graveyards and it is always very hard to try and explain this to people.
