Katherine, The link Dave provided says that the UHF have transcribed Drumquin Presbyterian’s gravestones. I had a look on their site and there are no legible Quigleys in that graveyard (parish is Longfield East). Indeed there are no Quigleys in Tyrone on that site.

I know that my 4th-great grandfather, Andrew Quigley, lived in County Tyrone at the time of his death in 1847. He was originally from Athlone in County Westmeath, but he moved to County Tyrone after he became a pensioner after his service in the Royal Artillery. His son, James Quigley, was married in the Drumquin Presbyterian Church in 1848. I was hoping to find a gravestone for Andrew and also see if maybe he had any children buried near him that I haven't found other records for. I have been in contact with the minister at that church, and he said there was a cemetery, but no death records. Does anyone have a researcher to recommend to look through the cemetery for me?

Since I was there to confirm my original purchase location, I decided to buy the four Tyrone PDF files... they arrived just now, 11:30pm on a Monday night in the UK, only an hour after ordering!

Another very useful resource is www.igp-wweb.com which has listings with photos of many graveyards.

I had several "good hits" which have later been proven accurate via picture sent to me. The e-book I purchased is for County Leitrim, though I see many other counties including Tyrone listed: https://kabristanbookshop.com/product/ireland-publications/county-leitrim-burials-from-1760-part-3-pdf-format/ I don't know if there are other sources for this data, I purchased this (only £5!) early in my genealogy work. Based on a quick search I do see a link here which lists MANY graveyards by county, and indicates whether published online or not (change the county name in the URL if you want something different, or just use the site search): https://www.johngrenham.com/records/county_graveyards.php?search_type=full&county=Tyrone Ideally some of this is useful!

It also mentions that a new church was built between 1860 – 1863 after which the old church became the Manse (ie the Minister’s home). I would guess therefore that the graveyard does go back earlier than 1845. Presbyterians generally didn’t keep burial records so there are unlikely to be any paper records for who is buried there. You just have to hope there’s a legible gravestone. You could try writing to the Minister to see if anyone has ever transcribed them or if he knows of a grave for your family. Otherwise you may just have to pay a researcher to go and look. Not every Minister replies to these enquiries. Some get rather more genealogical enquiries than they feel able to deal with. On the other hand some are very obliging.

I know the records for the Drumquin Presbyterian church only go back to 1845, but does the graveyard go back further? How can I check?
