If you go into wwwClarelibrary.ie and seek out Griffiths Valuation of properties in 1855 you will find'Bushell' in Tullygarvin ,Lahinch which is near here and in Kilfenora also near here. When people emigrated in the 1800's they often gave the nearest market town such as Ennistymon as it could be in your case. This may be of help to you. Regards. michael comber
