Ballindrimlea
« on: Tuesday 16 November 10 02:24 GMT (UK) »
Google maps now has street views for all of Ireland. I'm looking for a farm from early 20th century, perhaps the building(s) still exists. Its the Smiley-Wilkinson family of Ballindrimlea, shown in 1901 and 1911 census. Anyone have any idea what the modern address/area/street would be so I might be able to take a look via Google?  Thanks  so much!
