Memorials of the Dead: Galway & Mayo

Continuing the work began by his father Brian J. Cantwell, Ian Cantwell has recorded and indexed 128 graveyards in west Counties Galway and Mayo. All visible and legible memorials dated up to 1901 have been included. In total 3,667 memorials were transcribed and an index of 8,469 names created from the transcriptions. Where names of erectors were included these have been recorded too as they may form an integral part of family research.

The index can be searched under the following options, Name (forename/surname) and through dropdown lists for Garveyard/Church, Placename and Occupation. The results contain a transcript of the inscription as well as a description of the graveyard itself.

The list of graveyards and churches included, as well as the breakdown of memorials and names is as follows:
