Greetings from Northern Ireland,

There were several families with the surname Real in Co. Limerick in 1853 at the time of Griffiths Valuation of Ireland in the County. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php
There were families with the surnames Frawley and Real living in the same Parish in both Limerick City and the county of Limerick during the time of the Valuation 1848-64. http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm

All the Best, Christopher
