Also thank you both Elwyn and KG  for the links to the websites.

I had not realised the census returns had the the rental details for the properties. That is very useful. I usually only look at the Household A form for additional information or to check the transcriptions..

Another correction. Catherine  Leighton nee Irwin, mother-in-law to my 2x gt grandfather Patrick Clarke, was my 3x gt grandmother.

While I still have the site open this link is to the will of Robert Scott of Carrowdurneen who died 25 Mar 1864 aged 54. Wife named as Elizabeth.

This Robert Scott was I think the father of Catherine Scott and the younger of the two Archibald Scotts. Also father of Mary Jane Scott who married William Morrison of Killeenduff in 1872. Mary Jane was with Archibald Scott and his wife Olivia Kate nee O'Donnell in 1901.

Eliza Scott widow who died 8 Aug 1898, aged 78 actually died in Killeenduff but the Skreen burial record shows her as from Carrowdurneen.

The other Archibald Scott and his brother Thomas were also in Carrowdurneen in 1901. This Archibald was 10 years older than the son of Robert and could possibly be the son of Patrick Scott but as this Archibald  did not marry (nor did his brother Thomas or sister Kate) I have not yet confirmed that.
