Star of The Sea RC Graveyard. . County Derry -Completed.
« on: Sunday 25 May 14 08:58 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find Star of The Sea RC graveyard near the village of Eglinton. County Derry. I have done a number of searches and can't find it. I know that it is in the Parish of Faughanvale.
I am going in July to  Ireland and wish to visit my grandparents graves.
I can't find the graveyard on Google maps. I was there once as a young child and I have the plot numbers. I have also looked on History from Headstones.
Any help would be appreciated.

Google for star of the sea church brisland road eglinton.

Google Maps Streetview is slightly "out".  When you go into Streetview, turn around and head along Brisland Road away from Derry (ie. towards Limavady), you'll see the church and graveyard on the right after you move forward a bit from where Streetview initially places you.

What a quick response! Thank you so much for  Kingskerswell and Gaffy for your help. I have some spent hours trying to find it, I was wondering if the name had been changed as I was last there over 50 yrs ago. I now live in Australia so visiting there is very important. Thanks again.
