I am looking for my grandfather's and grandmother's family in Glenaun, Inveran. My grandfather, Edward, was born in 1888. His parents were Owen Naughton and Ellen Bradley. They had about 9 children. Owen was the oldest. Edward, Mary, Patrick and Martin came to the US in the early 1900s and settled in Massachusetts around Boston.Their last names got changed to Norton.

I am also interested in finding what cemetery a family from this parish would be buried in and what church might have records.

Thanks so much,

Hi

I know where your grand parents are buried, as I was born and raised in Glenaun, I asked my mum and she knew about them, i am not related, as my grand fathers first wife was naughton, but she died and he remarried, so my mums mother was Nee, and that how we came to live there, the old village is still there, the house where they lived.
your distant relations live nearby, someone came over to visit earlier in the year, Ned's daughter i think?
if you need to know more, ill ask my mother, and i can send you some photo's some time, if you want.

Regards

Padraic,

Yes, my grandfather's old cottage is up on the hillside in Glenaun. I was in it this summer. I believe I met your parents who showed me around. I am the grand daughter of Edward Naughton who was the son of Owen Naughton and Ellen Bradley.

Please tell me where my great grandparents are buried. I think they are under simple rocks in Bantrach Cemetery.

I am looking for a picture of any of my grandfather's family - Owen, Barbara, Stephen and where they are buried.

Please say hello to your parents. They were wonderful to us this past summer. My email address is kroghm@aol.com.

I am so glad you answered.
