Searching for James Coleman's family home

Rob:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I will alert our parish liaison for that area of northeast Limerick that you have posted a message. Let me know if you have not heard back in a week or so. Thanks!

Hi Rob-Irish Genealogy.ie-Shows Simon Coleman Born 1864 in KNOCKANENA,MURROE-Parents John Coleman & Elizabeth Ryan.

Liam, Roger, 

That's fantastic.  Thank you.  Liam - can you point me to the website you're referencing?

I may also have found a property owned by John Coleman in Griffith's Valuation: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

Coleman is a pretty common name, but it's in likely town - Abington and living in a house on the same parcel is Ellen Ryan.  John married an Eliza Ryan.

I'm still working on understanding the map to find the right parcel of land, but I think it's in modern day Maddaboy.

Liam,

I see now that Genealogy.ie IS a website (I didn't recognize it as a URL), but it looks a professional services site (are you part of that organization?) Do you know of publically available sites that I can do that Irish research on?  

thanks,

Rob

I have also found a John Coleman entry in Griffith's Valuation

Interestingly (for me), on the same property renting from John Coleman is Ellen Ryan.  John marries Eliza Ryan at some point.  Possibly a connection

I'm working on reading the map and pinpointing the location.  Tips welcome.

My larger family (parents, adult kids and near adult kids) - 20 of us are visiting Ireland (rented a place in Cork on the ocean) next summer.  A trip to Limerick certainly seems likely.
