Forelock location
« on: Friday 14 March 08 09:42 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,
Can anyone tell me the precise location of Forelock? I was given to believe it's in Offaly, but I can't seem to find it!
Thanks,
Bob

 Yes Kinnitty is the civil Parish for Forelacka. The Poor Law Union is Parsonstown the Barony is Ballybritt.
     Sometimes if one cannot find anything in the civil Parish,then look under Parsonstown.
            I assume you know if the ancesters were R'C or Church of Ireland.

Thanks again, Lep
My Irish geography isn't what it should be! I've got all the other info.

Yesterday on your other post asking about 'Forelock' I gave you the www.thecore.com/seanruad website to get the information on Forelacka.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
