Pam:
I am not really sure about any. Here is an item about Reisk which is the parish. Hopefully this will help.

Hello Pat,
              Thanks again, after a long time I feel that I may be able to make an arrest!!!! ha..ha

I have been looking for so long now I think I may have served my apprenticeship as a detective.

Many thanks,

Pam..Sydney

The closest town would be Dunhill.

Hi Vasaborg
Should you be interested I have in my line a John and a Martin Dower who came from Ballydermody  an adjacent townland to Ballylegat. John and Martin were convicted of highway robbery where he and Martin robbed Michael and Thomas Fitzgerald on the turnpike road one and a half miles from Waterford City.
At the trial a witness said that he had met the prisoners when "they were working for a Mr Sullevan of Ballylegat".
Just a little information which may be of some use.
