 Thanks for the reply. I think so. My ancestors Foulue and Murphy families, have Buncare , Killorglin on this baptism and marriage records. I am trying to work out where it is now. I am in Australia and not really sure how the townlands work in Ireland. From what I read it was Buncare until 1850s and then Buncare, and then stopped being used.
