Dougher Cemetery, Lurgan

[Hungryhorace]

I am wondering whether there are burial records for Dougher graveyard. I know from NLI parish records that John Gibney's funeral was 12 July 1869 and he was buried in Dougher.
Would like to know where abouts he is ahead of a visit. Any info appreciated.

Have a look at these links, from Lurgan Ancestry-

...the Brownlow’s donated the Dougher field which surrounded the primitive chapel to the Catholic people as a graveyard, and an elevated site in North Street, Lurgan, for the erection of a proper church. In 1830-31, the Reverend William O'Brien, from the Broadwater area of Aghalee, began the building of the first St Peter's Church on the site.

Burial records might be in St Peter's Church, North St, Lurgan.

Thank you for your reply. I have already exhausted those lines! Tried the council. St Peter's Church have nothing on their website.
