Hello

Yes from Sonnach-mhulláin / Sinolane, Gleann Tabhráin - Glantavraun area near Kilmovee.

The headstone is Ellen Walsh.

 

Hi Jim that place name is interesting. My Great Grandad Patrick Horan was known as “Slin”. He was from Glantavraun and I wonder if “Slin” derives from Sinolane, to differentiate him from other Patrick Horans who, undoubtably were quite numerous in the area. We have never established where the nickname originates.
