Hello Jill - hope you have a wonderful time, it is difficult not to when you visit Ireland. I don't have an answer to your queries but there is plenty of information on Cappagh through Google if you haven't already done this. Also, FURLONG seems to be largely a Wexford name - there are references to the name elsewhere but the great majority of mentions in the Griffiths are in Wexford with another bunch in Wicklow. All the best with your research and best wishes for your trip.
