Drumfarrer? Anyone know of it?
« on: Wednesday 24 February 21 14:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
  a relative of mine, Mary Connolly, was born in Drumfarrer in Monaghan.  I can't find it on Google maps, in any townlands search or just about anywhere else.  It has only two hits on Google search in findmypast.
thanks
Paul

Ok, so I found it.  That was an American spelling above.  The Irish census is Drumfurrer.

Here it is in the Civil Parish of Errigal Trough and right on the Monaghan border with Tyrone.
