Oakman of Ireland

Pieces of the Puzzle

Cemeteries & Headstones

Glenavy Churchyard

I'm sure there are many Oakman ancestors buried in the quiet little cemetery in the churchyard of St Aidan's in Glenavy village. Many generations of the Oakman family worshipped at this little church in Glenavy. Unfortunately, there are only a few remaining headstones to show where they have been laid to rest.

The church at Templecormac is now in ruins and the cemetery there is very small. Only one Oakman headstone has been found in this cemetery, but it is likely there are other members of the Oakman family buried there.

Headstones in both these cemeteries have been transcribed by "The Digger" and are available online at GlenavyHistory.com.
