Yes, even Derrycoosh has a multitude of spelling possibilites.  Check the concentration of Walshes in the area in 1856.  No wonder I am having so much trouble sorting them out...

Sorting Walshes in Derrycoosh

There were ten Walsh households in Derrycoosh in 1855.  Trying to sort them has become a bit of an obsession.  Some of the available tools are the petty court records which are available on FindMyPast and the parish registers, which are found on the Library of Ireland website.  Here is my take to date.....

Taobh Aonghais Thiar - Taobh Aonghais Thoir

Julia Burke was a resident of Teevinish when she married John Walsh.  The record does not indicate whether it was Teevisih West or Teevinish East, but then it wasn't until the early 1800s that we find any reference to it being split.  Julia's baptism has not been found and her father was deceased when she married so to date I am unsure of the family, although I can make an educated guess.  We find references to Teevinish as early as 1592 when Thomas McGibon was listed as being from there. With the number of rent rolls available it might be possible to find further information.

Ceathrú na Cléithe

I have spent many years talking about the need to search for places using many spellings.  This week I was delighted to find the website Logainm.ie.  Here you will find references to places in Ireland, many starting centuries ago with not only the IRISH name for the place, but also a multitude of other spellings.  While the website does not have links to all these records, it's mission being the gathering of Place Names, it does give information on them.  With that in hand it might be possible to find lists of occupants and more that were previously unknown.  So....my next few posts on both my Irish family websites will be about the known townlands of ancestors.  The maps included in the Mayo County posts are from the collection of the Mayo County Library. Don't stop with the historic maps, the mapping tool is fun to use and really helps put our Mayo places in perspective.  There are multiple layering capabilities.  Be sure to try the people tab.  Type in your surname and you can see concentrations of the name at the time of the Griffith's Valuations and/or the 1901 Census.  Needless to say, between the two sites I lost an entire day.
