I am not sure of the correct spelling but that should get you there .Good luck finding your "Ogs" Jim.

There are Knocklin East, Middle and West listed - do you think these might be Cloughland? There is a Eugene O'Sullivan which might be my Great Grandfather, but I'm just not sure. This ancestry research is so difficult sometimes !! Hope all is well with you and yours and that you didn't suffer with the storm Sandy??

Sean O'Shea of Castletownbere. Fr. Sean is now very-much alive ---- living in the West End of the town and is now around 89 years of age. A fine footballer in his youth, he was always a lovely singer. Fr. Sean, a great character, and extremely-well-liked by all, served in his early years in Motherwell, Scotland; then as R.A.F. Chaplain for 16 years, during which time he served in Singapore, Aden, and Germany. He was Parish Priest in Biggar, Scotland, before returning to his native Beara where he administered in Bere Island for many more years. The first verse, goes like this:- "My heart ever wanders to the sweet land of Beara ----- with its mountains so stately and her long-winding shores where the people are kindly, light-hearted and tender ----and a cead mile failte is heard at each door". The chorus is:- "Oh Beara, sweet Beara, my fond thoughts I send you since fate has decreed that from you I must roam. Still, deep in my mem'ry, each hilltop and valley, each moorland and stream of old Beara, my home". Second verse:- "'Tis lovely to stand now, and gaze 'round its summit ---- and gaze to the west at the close of each day, * *while the rays of the sunset ---- are spead o'er the waters ---- and turn into gold ev'ry headland and bay". Third verse:- "The woods of Glengarriff, --- sweet Adrigole Harbour ---- Castletownbere and historic Dunbaoi Bere Island and Dursey, ---Reentrisk and Kilcath'rine. --- These are the old spots I'm longing to see. The tonic solfa sounds like this:- soh doh' ray'tee d'd' ---soh fah mee fah ray meedoh --- sohsoh doh'ray' tee doh'doh' --- doh' ray'/ mee' doh fah' mee'/ ray' s s/ d' r' t d'd'/ s f /m f r m d/ d r/ m m f sf r/ r d d d And the chorus sounds like this:- s/ d' d' r'/ m' m' m'/ f'' m' r'/m' r' / d'/ t s m f/ m f / s d' t/ d' s/ d' r' t/ d' d'/ sf mf r md ---r/m m f/ s f r/ r d d d I hope you can make that "rubbish" out.
