Anyone tell me where in Mayo this place is? I think I have spelled it right, it is on a 1911 english census.

Sorry, entered in error.

Could be.... Pollatomish is in the Electoral Division of Cnoc na Lobhar, in Civil Parish of Kilcommon, in the Barony of Erris, in the County of Mayo
The Irish name for Pollatomish is Poll an tSómais Pollatomish is also known as Cill Chomáin in Irish.

Thanks Sinann,
very interesting.

The old Cemetery was hit by massive waves during a storm, coffins etc washed out to sea and following that the names of graves were recorded.
I have names photographed here...

This cemetery is also known as Cill Chomain (Kilcommon) Graveyard and has three adjacent sections on the side of a steep hill overlooking Sruwaddacon Bay. On the 19th September 2003, a landslide in the old section (P1) swept some the graves into the sea. The other two sections are relatively new with their oldest headstones dated 2000 in the middle section (P2) and 1920 in the north section (P3).
A recently published book entitled "Cill Chomain Old Graveyard" (authors: Uinsíonn Mac Graith, Treasa Ní Ghearaigh) includes a lot of local information and names from the parish burial records, many of which have no headstones. So if you are looking for an ancestor who doesn't appear in the listing below, the book is available from

Thanks everyone thats fantastic, yes it was Anthony Nalty's family I was searching he died in Preston Lancashire, have always wondered if the family started as Catholic's and changed to C OF I , but with no Nalty grave in the old graveyard it looks like they were blow inns.
-
Only Bridget is RC on the two Ireland Census, it's possible she was married to Anthony's brother, fairly sure he was Patrick.
and a poster was asking about Bridget back in 2010

Same poster here re Anthony’s family

This seems likely to be your Anthony’s parents’ deaths
Anthony - Father

Ellen - mother
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1896/05904/4675303.pdf
The marriage certificate of Anthony and Catherine Tighe, their fathers are described as ‘Scripture Readers’ which I think seems a serious commitment to faith.
-

Again thanks very much

Just been looking at the age difference in Anthony and Catherine would this have been usual? it seems he was in his 30s and she was 12.

Not sure what you are referring to when you say.."it seems he was in his 30s and she was 12."
