The places Kyle and Castlehail Co. Kilkenny
« on: Sunday 13 April 08 23:22 BST (UK) »
After a VERY LONG search I have just discovered the places where my G.G. Grandparents lived in Ireland. As I am not familiar with Co. Kilkenny could someone give me some information on any of these places please? The name "Castlebale" is an address on a marriage record but, after looking at a Co. Kilkenny map I think that should read Castlehail. Would that be correct? The other recorded name is a place named Kyle.  The Parish/District is given as Dunammaggin. Are these villages, hamlets or Towns? I would appricate any help. Thank you. Bridget x

The orginal post is from 2008 and possibly the poster has found the information she was looking for but am wordering if 'Kyle' could be Kells? There's a town called Dunnamaggan in the Baronly of Kells (Callan civil parish)- also townlands called Dunnamaggan East & Dunnamaggan West.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Kilmoganny, Kells and Dunnamaggin are all villages.
