Where is Harphall Graveyard in County Antrim, Ireland

Question

I am researching Hugh Adrain and his will mentions his desire to be buried in Harphall graveyard.  I haven't been able to find any location for this graveyard.  Did it also have another name?  He passed on 9 May 1872 at Deer Park Farms.

I have created the category for the townland so you can use it for the cemetery location. If you let me know the cemetery name I can add it to the Tickmacrevan Parish space.

I think Carnlough village already has a category if you prefer to use that.

ETA: Ah, Carnlough is in Ardclinis parish and Tickmacrevan. I need to look at that.

Yes Carnlough is neatly divided in two with the Harbour Road part being in Ardclinis parish and the Bay Road part being in Tickmacrevan parish. It looks as if it might be best just to use Carnlough, County Antrim unless you happen to know for certain it is in Harphall Townland.

If it is https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2555723/saint-johns-roman-catholic-graveyard then it definitely is in Harphall Townland as it is on Bay Road.

David, I am convinced it is Saint Johns Roman Catholic Graveyard as the family was Roman Catholic.

Thanks

Answer 1

Harphall townland is in Carnlough, on the coast road  and there appears to be a Roman Catholic graveyard there, could that be the one? St John’s Roman Catholic Graveyard. It’s in the parish of Tickmacrevan which seems to link with Hugh. I’m afraid I don’t know the area though though I’ll have driven through it in the past.

The graveyard my grandparents are buried in in often referred to by the name of the townland rather than the church name

Answer 2

Thanks for all of the assistance. Indeed it is likely St John's as the family was Catholic.
