Castlelyons RC parish appears to have contained the following civil parishes: Castlelyons, Coole, Britway and probably Knockmourne. Lisgoold RC parish consisted of: Lisgoold, Ballycurrany, Templebodan and Templenacarriga civil parishes. Britway and Templebodan civil parishes have a common border of a bit less than a mile. Not much but, yes, the two RC parishes are "next" to each other. >> Was "Ballyn...." or "G Villing" a small town or part of a city address??? << Regarding the G Villing, the 'G' might be a common abbreviation of the time for Glen or Glena. There is a townland of Glenawillin in Templenacarriga CP (Lisgoold RCP), about 4 miles due N of Midleton. There is even a Glenawilling, but it's "out of the area" in question. >> I would like to know if anyone knows what "Ballynvalashomore" is/was?? << It's probably a townland. I haven't found it (only a casual search, so far), but the "more" is undoubtedly a separate extenstion name. So it's probably something like Ballynavalash More. I'm still browsing on that one.
