Title: Commonbog, Co. Kilkenny
Post by: JIESY on Thursday 21 January 16 16:01 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Does anyone know where exactly Commonbog, Gowran parish, Co. Kilkenny is? Where is the nearest town? An ancestor, Martin Kavanagh, was born there in 1822 to John Kavanagh and Mary Rourk - any info on this couple?

Thanks, J

Look for Gowran, Kilkenny on Bing Maps. Common Bog is about a mile north west of Gowran near Gallowshill

Link for ordnance survey map of the area, but it seems to be called "Commons" on this map.
