Does anyone know how close together geographically are Killererin and Killoran?

Thank you.

Killoran is in the South-east of Co. Galway - near to Offaly, Killererin is near to Tuam and about 60 km away (to the North west)

Thank you very much.

Can I ask one more, please?

Would you know where Athenry is, and Moor Park, in relation to them?

Athenry is about half way between Tuam and Killoran

Moorpark is about 6km North West of Athenry

you can see all these towns google maps..to get a better idea of the layout

That is brilliant. Thank you so much. Now I can see where they were born and where some were buried.

Now why didn't I think of using google maps?   ::)  I still feel like a beginner sometimes!  :)
