Where is/was 'Comolane in the County of Cavan'?
« on: Sunday 04 February 18 17:32 GMT (UK) »
I have a reference to a William Magrath, solicitor of 'Comolane' in the Co of Cavan but cannot find where this is or was.  He would have been practising late 1700s/early1800s, and probably worked in the Court of Chancery in Dublin.
(I have found 2 sons - George Ponder and William Christopher & their families in Dublin)
Do you know where this was or perhaps if it 'sounds like' some place else?
Many thanks

Hi,
This is the reference:
https://search.findmypast.ie/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0000848%2f18670415%2f066
I know nothing of the family outside Dublin - so this area is completely new to me - as well as soooo exciting!

I can imagine a confusion of the 2 names if you didn't know the area.  Do you know if there are any directories for the area/dates I might check?

i cannot access that record on FindMyPast as i dont have access to the Irish records.

in order to find out more about the family,,i think you would have to post exactly what you do know,,,,including any census,,birth/marriage/death references you have.

MARRIED . 'On Apr 11th at Rathmines Church ...Frank Boardman of Dublin, to Rebecca, 2nd dgtr of G Magrath Esq....& granddaughter of the late Wm Magrath Esq, of Comalane, in the county of Cavan, solicitor'. Waterford Mail 16th Apr 1867.
I already have Rebecca, her siblings, her Father George Ponder Magrath & uncle Wm Christr Magrath (both clerks in Chancery) and children logged.
I have a ref to Rebecca's brother Wm Benjamin Magrath being the gson of Wm Magrath, solicitor. Wm Benjamin became a Chancery solicitor. So these kind of cross-reference.
My brick wall has been the gfather solicitor Wm Magrath, as there were various Wm Magraths practising in turn of the century Dublin.  He md in 1792 Susan Mary Carruthers. 
I have refs also to a Wm Magrath, solicitor in 1757 with lodgings in Bachelor's walk, Dublin & vacation time in Cavan.  I suspect this may have been the 'Comalane' Wm's father. But no proof of course, as it's only just now I came across the Comalane ref.

It's a newspaper article?
It could be the name of a house, as he is Esq and solicitor.
