Hi Corcaighbhoy & welcome,You may have already notice in Griffith's Valuation (I know the time line is later then when your  3xGreat grandmother was born)Spelman isn't really a common name & maybe some of the places listed with Spelman living, could be areas where her relatives were living,there are only 3 Spelman listed for Kings - living at Ballybought & Cartron both in the parish of Durrow &  Endrim in the parish of Wheery,then I looked in the neighbouring counties of Queens there are none listed & Westmeath has one in Mullingar,there are 65 Fitzgreralds listed for Kings,regards Nipy
