Hi Wooler,
 Well There is a civil parish in Co, cavan Castlerahan in the province of Ulster.  The townland is also Castlerahan.
  But you are not sure where they were from.

I looked in the 1901 census. I am putting it in for you, there was only one George Reilly 77yrs old. on his own but he was living in Co, Leitrim.
