I have found a record on Ancestry which is of interest to me, but I cannot find the place
Its a burial for a Margarita Maher, in 1873, residence is given as Curroe, and burial place Ballinahown, Westmeath and Offaly, Ireland.
Could someone suggest where/what Curroe might be? I was hoping to find a matching death registration, but have had no luck so far.
thanks

Looks more like Corroe (#473).

There's a townland called Grogan and Corroe NE of Ferbane (the registration district).
