Could someone please give me more info on Corraglass? Is it a town, or farm? >> It's neither. It's a "townland", a geographical division. For a definition, (though a rather confusing one!) see the PRONI site at : http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/geogindx.htm and click on "glossary of terms." Don't think in terms of "village" or "hamlet." Its a rural division. A townland usually includes several farms, anywhere from one or two to thirty or more, depending on the size of the farm and the size of the townland. In Fermanagh, along with the nearest post town, it is also the person's address, for example: J Smith, Drumgormly, Derrygonnelly, Co Fermanagh. (Drumgormly the townland, Derrygonnelly the nearest post office) Hope this helps, Janet C-S
