See http://www.thecore.com/seanruad to find townlands, etc. in Ireland.

Had a quick look and can't find anything with 'glenheb' anywhere in Ireland (even tried parishes)

Where did you come across the name?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you aghadowey,  I have just looked up a birth in Montrose,  its unusual  for the the mother's birth place to be on the certificate. her family on their census always said Monaghan and Amagh Ireland. I image she told the clerk and he wrote what he thought she said.
