Placename: Clougheoma
« on: Monday 30 June 08 05:09 BST (UK) »
This is a 'kick myself' placename. I have it recorded against a name and I don't know where I got it from. I'm thinking it is from Galway though as I have a link via another name.
It's recorded as the birthplace of Ellen O'REILLY b c 1876 died Christchurch New Zealand 1908.
Would someone be able to pin point it for me?
Thanks,
Bryan

See www.thecore.com/seanruad to find townlands, parishes, etc. in Ireland. Be sure to change default setting from exact match as in this case it might be better to search for 'clough' at the beginning of a word in case there's a variation in spelling if nothing shows up for 'clougheoma.'
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
