Some website says something about something, what does it mean by  having the (Toohy) in brackets?

Thanks for that info, things are starting to become clearer! Takes a while for these fiddly bits to sink in, much appreciated.The family in Sydney named their cottage Dromore so I've been using this as a 'hint'!!!!

No problem!


Many often overlook clues like names on houses, farms etc.

While looking for one of mine in Oz I was in no doubt when I saw name on houses....  ;D ;D
