1901 census Reid family in Bohalas.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Roscommon/Ballaghaderreen/Bohalas/1661329/

As I said, I was bothered with the places especially these places which are close and mentioned in records but what about Swinford?

William Ruane states Hawksford as his birthplace in 1881 and Thomas Patrick Read shows ‘Boh..’ which is transcribed as Bohola.

It may well be but there is a Dominic Reed in Griffiths Valuation in Bohalas, Castlemore Parish.

Previous entry is Ruan.

When I was searching the other day, I was hesitant as some of these places are now more towards Ballaghderreen. There were changes to county boundaries, I think late 1890s but not sure and that is now Roscommon.


The 2 Ruan men occupied plot 8 and Dominick Reed plot 9. Viewing the Griffith map, the ford appears to be on plot 7, close to boundary with plot 8. That's if I've interpreted the map correctly.
Was Hawkford townland on Griffith's Valuation? I flicked through the pages for Castlemore civil parish but didn't see it. It should be next to Bohalas on the Griffith map but I didn't notice it. It takes me a while to locate places on those maps.

Ballaghadereen was transferred from Mayo to Roscommon in 1898.

Yes, I thought it was late 1890s. I think I mentioned it. My friend’s husband always insisted that he was a Mayo man not Roscommon!

Griffiths Valuation
Bohalas  is in the parish of Castlemore pg 178
Hawksford is in Kilcolman (part of) pg 198
