You will find several places in IreAtlas. There is no Knockbarrow but do a search for Knockba at the beginning of the field. There are several possibilities.  If you still have the letter and can give a bit more information I may be able to help further

Thanks for that ,I think Knockbarragh in Co Down would be the place. Some of my ancestors lived on Kilbroney Rd so the place fits. In the letter it says the people who lived their were called Quinn and the house had orchards. sorry I cant be more specific thats all I have. Regards Mike
