Thank you Ken! This is exciting information and I believe you are correct. I actually have more homes or locations I would like to find on my paternal side which is Cornelius Harrington my great grandfather who married Margaret o'sullivan (Cumba). Lower Cloghane I believe. I think I need to spread this all out on my dining room table so I can see and understand more clearly all the connections. My maternal great grandfather was James Lowney son of Michael. I wonder if there were sibling that inherited Michael's home? I haven't had a chance to look in Riobard's works Patty to see if your Michael and my gg grandfather Michael are one in the same. Ken, I think you are correct about the farm too. But what do you see that connects the location to the Griffith information? Accumulated knowledge or a particular number I am missing? I can verify that Johanna married twice and although the census doesn't show my grandmother I have verified that Elizabeth or Lizzie lived in Butte until her passing in 1977. I believe Patrick moved to Butte soon after the 1911 census. He married Margaret Shea in Butte 1913 had 2 girls Retta and Marjorie. Patrick passed in Butte 1933. His obituary connected him to my grandmother Mary Lowney Harrington. Who moved to Butte in 1904 and married Timothy Harrington who went years earlier to Butte. All miners. Patrick's obit mentions siblings in New York, Cork, and Washington. Ken your specifics of the area is amazing. I do not know the area but I think I saw O'Neill's pub in a tourist advertisement on the web. I so look forward to visiting the area someday. I look forward to hearing from you again and your Friends.
