Hi snook,I understand your problem, if the name was taken from a cert or census, it could often be spelt the way it sounded to the person. Hence Killrow.
Scepticism is necessary with regard to name's dates and age's of that era.The actual date of birth given,is often well before that time.
And surnames. Example. Kilfoyle,Gilfoyle, Guilfoile.

Ola to You Snoop  Balnagar souds more like spanish than Irish.
I will look around tomorrow,see if we can come up with anything close.
I am sure you know that most of the Irish records were burnt in 1922.
so Irish ancestry is hard.
Try putting down all the information you have no matter how insignificant it may appear.
In return you can send some sunshine.  Cheer's Lep

Ola Snook, Bad news there is nothing like Balnagar. There is Balnagon but no help to you for it is Co, Meath.
A census was taken for the whole Island in 1821,1831,1841,1851,1861,1871,1881,1891,1901,1911.
The first four were largely destroyed by fire at the public record office in 1922.by order of the goverment.
Those for 1861,1871,1881,and 1891,were completely destroyed prior to 1922.
I know very little regarding the Navy. maybe a long shot,but then one never knows. If you put a post on for William Patrick who went into the navy.someone with some knowledge may be able to help.Sorry I have not been more help. Regards. Lep

This is likely to be Ballygar on the Galway/Roscommon border.

A look at townlands for Roscommon suggests maybe your place might be Ballinagard. The 'Bal-' is a very common prefix and would derive from Irish word for town being "baile". I have some neighbours called Kilroes and are from Roscommon and might get a chance to ask if place is local/familiar to them. There is a good website for Roscommon/Leitrim with 1901 census info on it.
