Can you tell me where this town is please?

Dear Skyrish,

I am an administrator for Bailieborough in Co Cavan & I google searched for that townland, but nothing came up, I looked at Griffiths valuations on askaboutireland.ie but nothing came up & I also looked at the Census for 1901 at nationalarchives.ie again without success, so I suggest that you contact info@roscommonroots.com & they should be able to help you, you can search Griffiths valuations by surnames also & that may be another approach as the spelling of the place may be different.

Best of luck in your research.

Hello Skyrish,

I am not an administrator. I just saw your post and figured I will give it a try. I also googled the town land name. I got 3 hits and one link which was for your post right here on irelandxo.

I guess that does not answer your request.

Try emailing the email address on this page and maybe you can find out if the townland Correboughlin was consolidated into another townland in Athleague Parish, Roscommon or if it was consolidated in another townland in Athleague Parish, Galway or even Fuerty Parish.

From what I can gather there were about 34 townlands in Athleague in the Tithe Applotment Books and there are only currently about 24 today. What you need is a history or the townlands of Athleague.

Local knowledge is key here.

Thanks Michael,

Have been down all those roads and come up with the same as you. 
 

This site is usually my last resort as I don't like to waste people's time and by the time I post here I have usually "Googled" myself silly. (Short trip!!)

I note from my reading that even folk back in the 19th century were having difficulty with Roscommon names so confusion is nothing new for the area.

Perhaps some local history buff will come up with an answer if they see my post.

Thanks for going to that trouble - it is much appreciated.
