Hello, Marea. 
     Not at all.  My sister-in-law is a great-granddaughter of the James and Ellen Lennon who appear in the 1901 census through their son James.  I've been compiling a family history for her family, children and grandchildren.  At the time I wrote this message, I was creating a book about their grandchildren's twelve U.S. immigrant ancestors, and wherever I could, I was adding the GPS locations of birth for each.  My sister-in-law and her sister had taken their mother back to Torboy for a visit with her remaining siblings so they knew the area, but they couldn't be sure of the specific location of the home.  I ended up using the GPS location of the fairy fort in the book.  I figured that even if place names were changed, they or their descendants would be able to find the place. 
    Which of the children of James and Ellen Lennon are you descended from?  They had about ten who survived to adulthood.  In case you are not aware of the RootsChat policy, once you've posted two more times, we can send private messages to each other.  It would give us a chance to communicate additional information that would violate privacy in a public setting. 
     Thanks for this first posting.  Welcome aboard. 

Hello to all who are following this thread.  Although I have not been able to locate gravestones, I have located death records which show that Timothy J. Dineen died in Knocknabro on 7 JUL 1963 at the age of 94.  His wife, nee Mary Cremin, predeceased him on 3 APR 1940, also in Knocknabro.  Thank you so much for your interest. 

Exactly! And that supports Sinann's theory that the name is that given to a house.  Thanks for the additional observation. 

Unfortunately, it didn't, but maybe your comment that Google does have errors might.  Unless someone from Torboy or the Torboy area has new information, I'm sure that's the truth too. 

It can be hard for someone who has been to an ancestral home years ago and taken photos to reconcile anything that doesn't fit the memory and photographic evidence.  Lugmore's in the way right now.  She's right to be sure that her family didn't come from Lugmore.  We're good with the fairy fort though. 

Google goofed! 

I have to rake leaves this afternoon.  If there are any new postings, I'll catch up on them later.  Thanks to all. 

Thank you for the information, Maggie.  I have the Lennon information already, but my question is about the name Lugmore, which seems new.  It is where the home and outbuildings of James Lennon were located in the Griffith map.  The Lennons also had a home and a number of farming outbuildings in the 1901 and 1902 censuses.  All of these were located in Torboy.  Now, those same Torboy buildings are labeled Lugmore on Google maps.  Where did that name come from?  It is confusing a descendant who has been to the Lennon ancestral home with her mother who was born there.  She is ruling out the cluster of buildings now labeled Lugmore as the location she remembers visiting just because of the name.  The Google camera car did not go up that long driveway so we cannot see the buildings themselves.  She recalls a two-story home. 

I do have the GPS location of the ringfort on the property.  It shows up on the Griffith map and today's Google satellite view. 

I will pass on your information to the Lennon granddaughter.  Thanks again.
