Apart from Rockforest estate I posted above, part of it would be Rockforest townland which is in the Civil Parish of Corbally Poor Law Union of Roscrea County Tipperary.
So they probably never lived in Limerick.

Just need to check out the school a bit more.

Church of Ireland, Church of Scotland would essentially be the same.

That's incredible, thank you for all of this. I have got reasonably proficient at records in England and Scotland but am having to play catch up in Ireland. This is a stunning building.

I'm not sure if that school is RC or COI.
Have a look at http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/
I'm on iPad and it doesn't work very well, but it's fine on a PC.

Use the Search
Choose County Tipperary
Than Historic Parish Corbally
There are several Schools in the parish some marked as RC, I assume any not marked as RC are COI

You can also find Rockforest townland using townland search.
I think I spotted a Rockforest house.
You can look at different time periods using the 6" 25" etc in Preview Map Series box.

Thank you again, I have spent the afternoon poring over maps of the area and I am getting a much better idea of where everything is. I love it when something sparks off a whole new area of research!
