Hi Tony There was a little conclave of West Limerick settlers at Axedale who don't get a mention in "Poverty to Promise". The name NORMOYLE comes up on the Kilcolman church register and O'DEA I think from memory. Names I have found at Axedale are KENNELLY, BRIDGMAN, WINDLE, and more that I'll have to go into my database and find. More to come. I'll also have a look in the West Limerick emigrants book by Kate Press and Val Thompson.
