Ballyduff

[poppyo]

Hello. I've just got the 1911 census for William Flynn, my
 great grandfather, the townland is Ballyduff ?East. Could someone give me some information such as the nearest Catholic Church, and is there a map that shows the exact whereabouts ?
Thank you for any help

As far as I'm aware Ballyduff is in North Kerry so it may be worth also trying the Kerry section with this enquiry.

All the best

Hello Scatty. No it's definitely Offaly, I've attached the 1911 census. It's a dodgy photo as I had to photograph the microfilm.
Thank you, Barbara

Hi Barbara,

Ballyduff is a small (375 acres) townland near Daingean (was called Philipstown). I tried to find my map of Offaly townlands but no joy yet.....will send you a copy when I find it! My grandparents came from close by but I have not tracked them down yet.

If you search for Ballyduff Offaly on google there are plenty of references.

Thank you Joe, I would be grateful. I have googled it but got football and B&B's, I wanted the nearest church.
The name Hickey is familiar to me, were they in Daingean?

Hi Barbara,

Haven't found the map yet

I have three likely suspects for my Grandfather Hickey....all in the area.

My Sheerin's lived on Main St Daingean and Rathfeston, the Flynns are in Geashill, Croghan and Killaderry. I just know the name and can't place it.

[Did you ever find the Parish Church of Ballyduff, Offaly? I am now in the same situation and I am also struggling.
