Placename in Co. Leitrim
« on: Wednesday 14 July 10 11:19 BST (UK) »
Did anyone ever hear of "Bonnybeg" in Co. Leitrim?

Would love to know where it is -

There's a townland called Bunny Beg in Mohill parish, Co. Leitrim (Mohill Poor Law Union).

Thanks Aghadowney, I had found that one, but found two references to a "Bonny Beg" and wondered if there was such a place.  It possibly is Bunny beg outside Mohill but just trying to establish for certain :D

I only found one Bunny Beg listed in Leitrim but there are also townlands called Bunny More Lower and Bunny More Upper.

Sorry, should have said my references are not on official documents.   They specifically said Bonny Beg so I ruled out the other two.

Thanks anyway

Thanks Craggagh, that seems to be the place, as there was a reference to the 'Lauder family', and a 'Willie Lauder',, so Id say its spot on - Ill follow it up.

Many thanks
