Hiya ZXT,
I tried www.seanruad.com The words starting with "A" or ending with "ton" show no word that begins to look like "Aweston" Is the place name written on a document that you could post so that members can have a look and see what they think? I'd suggest you also send an email to Offaly County Library HQ to see if they are able to assist with this placename.
Chris

Hi ZkT That is possible,you would also find then that people would write,what it sounded like to them,at that time.
Offaly comes under Laois
Irish Midlands Ancestry
Bury Quay
Tullamore
Co, Offaly www.irishmidlandsancestry.com
Ok it's a full commissioned research service.
Almost all church records,as well as a wide range of other sources.
But I don't think you are going to get any where without some
good research help. From the experts.
If you do take something like this up, I would be most interested to hear if they knew of Awstown.

Balawak and Aweston sound like names being written down from the sound of them. Ballawak is probably Bally___. 'Aweston' could be some name that starts with an A or an H.

Hi ZKT I do think you would be better if you got expert help. If you do please let me know how you get on.
Going back some years ago my cousin hired an expert in Dublin
she was very good.
We found out many things we would never have found out from any board.
Good Luck Lep.
