Thanks Maria, but it's definitely Clonmoney and Ballycasey. I've visited the houses and the area and have a number of documents connecting the family to those houses. If I could work out how to post a picture I'd post a picture of the old Ordnance Map that shows them very nicely.

Incidentally, while Clonmoney House is mostly tumbledown, Ballycasey House is now an office complex on Shannon International Airport and houses the local craft centre.

The ordnance map should be here http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/8f625e5997b237cd9e191eaa2c14c83f36ea631.gif

and a modern day aerial view of the same area should be here http://images.yuku.com/image/x-png/0521569bb771949674ca989cbe23aca12007014.png

Dear Peter, I have been researching my family history for 3 years and can reveal that I am the great grand daughter of Joseph Francis Canny born to Matthew Canny and Antoinette Galwey at Clonmoney House in 1865. He died Sydney in 1912 and is buried at Waverley Cemetery. He arrived Sydney on the SS Quetta in the 1880s and became prominent in the Bank of NSW. He married Florence Fisher Cripps, daughter of Dr Charles Fisher Cripps of Rockhampton and they had three daughters including my grandmother Marie Antoinette( Minette) Canny, named after her grandmother Marie Antoinette (Minette) Galwey. My father, William Joseph Canny Hudson, who was Chairman of the NSW Milk Board, was an only child and died prematurely in 1971. With the assistance of Cork Library and the Butler Society of Kilkenny Castle, I have traced my family history through the Galweys back 37 generations to Rollo, the Viking Conqueror of Normandy and his wife Poppa of Bayeux. Amazing Stuff! Have just spent significant time in Ireland and visited Nadrid House and Clonmoney House. Joseph Francis Canny was the brother of James Canny who settled in Peru. Would love to meet up one day. Cheers Janelle McPherson, Sydney
