[Kerrill]

Anyone tell me where in Mayo this place is? I think I have spelled it right, it is on a 1911 english census.

Could be.... Pollatomish is in the Electoral Division of Cnoc na Lobhar, in Civil Parish of Kilcommon, in the Barony of Erris, in the County of Mayo

The Irish name for Pollatomish is Poll an tSómais Pollatomish is also known as Cill Chomáin in Irish.

The old Cemetery was hit by massive waves during a storm, coffins etc washed out to sea and following that the names of graves were recorded.
