Bridgid, Thanks for answering! I have a good feeling that Culrevog is correct if 25 miles away is “near Five Mile Town”, which is kind-of a vague distance. I sort-of enjoy this kind of discovery. I’m afraid my paper searches in Ireland are in vain, since my Irish Bartley ancestors arrived in Pennsylvania around 1800. I spent a few days at PRONI in Belfast, but found nothing. I did meet up with a Bartley family, with interesting aspect on the IRA, but unknown relation. On the other hand, I’ve found that Bartley is a variant of Barclay, with DNA evidence of relation to known families in Scotland, where more written evidence has survived. It would take a lot of work to decide on how to research this in Scotland, though I would enjoy visiting Scotland again anyway. Let me know what you decide when the copy arrives in Canada.

Bridget, given that you're in Dublin (lucky you!) i'd suggest your going to the following: A --,Registry of Deeds (King's Inn, near Parnell Sq. and look through the series of indexes for: (1) the place-name,parish and barony; (2) the landlord and the estate/manor name; and (3) Wilsons. I suspect you need a solid day and a half to two days there. B -- National Library, Kildare St. I'd scour its catalog (much of which is on-line) searching for 1-3 as noted above. You may find collections worth reading through in NLI's Manuscript Room. I presume you've already gone to PRONI and done similar? ~Clare L. > On Sep 7, 2015, at 6:13 PM, David Bartley wrote: > <<< > I have a good feeling that Culrevog is correct if 25 miles away is “near Five Mile Town”, which is kind-of a vague distance.
