(2) PATRICK STANTON

A view of Co. Mayo 1

• Birth Notes
  • Glencastle shown as birthplace on 1911 census.  This is fairly consistent with the Family Search data for a Stanton family at Bangor Erris.
    
    Also could be consistent with Patrick's description of boyhood near Lake Carrowmore, a tidal lake with an island used for cattle grazing..
    
    Griffiths Valuation mention several Stantons as landowners or tenants at Carrowmore, Kilcommon, Mayo, Ireland
    
    There are several Lake Carrowmores in Mayo but Glencastle and Bangor Erris are near the largest, which could be tidal.
