There are two 18th century wills in the Leighlin & Prerogative Court indexes for John Lawler (1770) of Killinatoher  and for his widow Elizabeth Lawlor (1783) of Kilnatogher.  The modern version could be Coolnavarnogue or Coolaghy, a townland in Coolnabaghner.

Killeenatogher is in the grounds of Emo Court.
If you look on the older OSI maps of the area you'll see it.
There was a church there.
The townland is Emo Park.

Emo...  "…near the farmyard are several very old yew trees marking the site of an old church, in the southern part is 'Kilnatocher' so called from an old Togher or bog…"

Indeed. And slightly WNW of that point you'll see the site of the church of the same name marked.

Site of church was not very clear in previous link.  Zoomed in a bit,  much clearer here.

Thanks Patoc37 for your directions.

Many thanks for that, most helpful.  The Cobbes were groundskeepers on the Emo Court estate, and Killinatogher appears in a number of their baptisms.
